From what I can work out ball screw at roughly 1500mm would be around £75 plus the nut at around £60 and I have two on my x axis so it's more like £260 ish.
Will you be upgrading only the X? Also, don't forget to buy machined ball screws AND also support bearings and ball nut bracket, unless you plan on making those. Another thing is that I don't think you should buy 1605 in that length, go for at least 2005.

If R&P is good enough or not depends on your requirements. Though, I think I'd personally prefer timing belt and not R&P.
