How does this compare to to warp9 tech design's USB SmoothStepper, and Ethernet SmoothSteppers?
I ask as I am looking to change from printer port, to USB or Ethernet very soon."If first you don't succeed, redefine success"

We've not examined ESS(have anyone got such experience?) but we sold a hundreds of Plcm series ethernet devices in Russia before ESS even was announced. In one word, plcm are stable, all known bugs are fixed(last bug wasregistered and fixed in march). Plcm-e3 have STABLE USB, while afair SS use FTDI chip and drivers, it hangs up after even a little interference, f.e. when you powers up a spindle.
There are some difference in pulsing engine - PLCM provide 100khz, but it's enough for most purposes. And you can't do threading on plcm, bur I'm not sure that SS supports this function.
