I bought some bar stock and made them myself. not that hard.
Or modify the existing pulleys to fit on the new motors.

In terms of costs, sure, I dont want to spend more money than I need but I could get this machine running on steppers for a lot less money, that's not the point here.

If the DMM stuff isnt much better or doesnt offer more than perhaps an easier fitment, then I might as well save the money and use that for a better touchscreen / PC whatever. I'm not trying to cheap out on the build but dont see value in paying for something that doesnt offer better. Of course the law of diminishing returns persists too.

As an example I have Panasonic drives and motors on Thor and cheaper Chinese stuff on my old Triac. The Triac worked OK but no doubt the Panasonic stuff is better. The only reason I bought them was that I got some stuff at good prices from an Ebay seller. I wont pay RRP or similar for Panasonic.

I can get away with a 750W system, been avoiding it due to mounting concerns, bracketry might be OK, motor shaft diameter and length are the main concerns. One guy on Youtube has basically extended his motor shafts to suit.
