I read something on the xylotek page a long time ago. If I remember it right their claim was even though your motors may be rated for 5A, 3 motors may work fine on considerably less (i.e. you don't need anywhere near 15A for the system). I don't know if that argument is specific to something in the chipset they use or if that can be made as a general argument.
Now if you have 4 of those 24VDC power supplies... then your in business.
