    From what I see there, the Xylotex or HobbyCNC will give you much better performance for either less money (HobbyCNC) or just slightly more (Xylotex). It has a 15V limit, and most likely is full step only, but I could be wrong there.

    The ramsey board I have is for small motors, no fets for higher power. good for running small motors as a test driver and such. The Kitsrus board IMO is better that the ramsey ,it has FET's on the output and is cheaper, but no micro step, still in the goofing around or test category. ger 21 is probably right,about the drives he listed. ramsey stuff is mostly designed for learning, and entertainment. I.m using gecko's on the real system.
