Got a real stepper drive (Gecko G203v) and they run my crappy steppers no problem right up to high rpm. Plus my Leadsh*te drive was more expensive than the excellent Gecko drives.
Another thing is with the Geckos my motors run quite cool, whereas with the Leadshine the motors would get hot even at standstill.
Geckos seem to come recommended left, right & centre.
