    Ok - V2...

    Inner end pieces are 15mm plate
    Outer end plates are 20mm
    bearing blocks also beefed to 20mm
    Front plate is still 5mm - more to keep crap away from the leadscrew than perform a major structural role...although should help with twist & sideways flex.
    Rear stell plate removed - although that was there more for a convenient flat mounting surface rather than anything majorly structural.

    Still comes in under £100 - so that keeps me happy
