3 kw spindle better but not with that gantry sides. Look at my build log #70, same simple gantry sides but much stronger.
Gantry should be at least 2x 100x100x3 , 150x100 is not a good measure to fit the bearings and at the same time have long Z travel. , try to use only one type of profile, at least thats what i do here, cause i buy 6m lengths.
Now to your "big" problem.
Dean told you already. Dont go with big screws cause you will not be able to rotate them.
If you feel adventurous mount the long screws both sides fixed mounts , but it must be perfectly aligned. It will lower the eventual whip even further.
I dont know what calculations you make but if you do it correctly it will move even faster than you think.
