You're right (barring a typo). With those big honkers on the screws
directly, they would have the torque to respond to the commands
without drive reduction (and function with higher cpr encoders). But
with the smaller motors, they will be required to opperate at higher
rpms (thus more torque) and not immediately fall too far behind in
commanded position thus faulting out.
