If you paid £130 for genuine Leadshine closed loop inc delivery then you've bought very cheap. I've never seen any that cheap before or after brexit so well done.

We don't actually disagree too much, Closed loop are worth having over Standard steppers if only because of the 3phase 1.2 degree motors but only if there isn't great price difference. £80 or even £50 per axis is too much IMO
I've actually got 12 sets of closed loop on route to me which will be fitted to routers but this is only because they are larger motors and hardly any price difference between standard motors/drives.
