I think I would have a hard time justifying servos myself. Granted, my stepper system wasn't exactly cheap, but for small machines like mine(Minitech Mill4), I can't imagine much value to a servo system over my current Camtronics Gecko setup. I can easily get over 400ipm reliably with the setup, and without limits, its nice to know that an error will result in lost steps and not destruction or damage to a machine component.
