    I do not believe there is any diff between the two, other than the 4 axis has the 4 set of axis drivers etc.

    Isn't hobbycnc a kit that needs to be soldered together? It's not as easy to destroy once everything is soldered together. But it is only for unipolar and 8 wire motors. It will not work with 4 wire motors.

    In terms of performance, there is no blanket answer. It really depends on your motors and system. But they have similar specs.

    The HobbyCNC kits that I have seen use the larger SLA type stepper driver chips, they are much more rugged, much larger silicon die and better at heat dissipation than the small surface-mount chips used in the TB6560.

    The SLA series actually works at 3 Amps safely and continuously in an industrial type machine, the TB6560 at 3A is pushing its limits real hard and won't last in an industrial type setting. The SLA is a proper large motor driver, the TB6560 is more for little bubblejet printer motors etc although people try to use them on CNC machines.
