You need the ip-s if you are going to run two motors on the x axis. I got the m for my build and it does seam a very nice bit of kit and made a lot of other things a lot easer to do with all the built in features.

Ditch those vertical supports along the centre that just drop to the middle of a beam below. Instead triangulate them back to the feet.

Or have crossbeams that are stiff enough by themselves.

In other words, proper support or no support.
