The difference arises because derating by 71.5% results in the same heat
dissipation in the coils as you would get by using the half coil rating.
50% of the half coil rating results in the same number of amp-turns
(therefore the same torque) but the motor runs cooler. And as Mariss keeps
saying, if you up the current to 71.5% and use a microstepping drive, you
may find that the microsteps are no longer linearly spaced.
