They are not like the gecko's as I don't believe they accept step and direction inputs. They are like the gecko's in that they drive motors.
I personally would go with gecko's. For $114 each, you can't go wrong. Plus they are little.
Brushless motors have 3 wires. How do you run brushed motors with them? Just use two wires?
Roland makes and interface card for drives like that that take step and dir input and have -10 to +10 volt output. Of course a gecko is cheaper than the interface card.
