I feel your pain, that's why I setup with PP BOB originally as the budget just wouldn't stretch over Xmas period so I could play with it, do some calibration and decide if I got on with linuxcnc before spending £300 on hardware which locks me into a vendor I haven't even tried.
I remember you saying you've used mach before so being locked in is probably not an issue to you.
When I was able to sell a kidney I got my electronics ;)
Ironically now I have a machine with good latency I can run it at 9m/min no issues from the PP BOB with 8 microsteps which has made the mesa less essential but obviously I'm still going to use it.
Yes you remember correctly,I am going to use Mach3 again.
My new senario is to take the uc300eth-5LPT and a crap break out board until I decide which of two kidney to sell,haha!!
I "see" the bob problem coming and finally fix it!!!

I know exactly what you mean.You ask your self this guestion all the time especially when you build something that you do not know how it is going to come up,or if your build is going to meet your standards.
