Wow, I REALLY read your pages wrong.

The servo package alone, 3 axis seems to be 3 driver, 3 motors for
$675. That is $225 per axis, or about $100 for the motor and $100
for the driver.

And, that includes the encoder.

That makes your package on par price wise with Rutex and Gecko
drivers, if one can get the motors and encoders for $100. but then
yours is complete. MUCH better deal that I had previoulsy assumed.
