    Thanks Lee for the comment. From my research a lot of ball screw manufacturers recommend the Mobilux EP2 for their ball nuts @ 0.8-1.0ml per 10mm of ball screw diameter, so that's the only reason why I'm choosing it. However £3.50 is much cheaper so I'll have a look around for alternatives as you have suggested. For my 1605 screws this works out to around 1.5ml per ball nut per axis. The SBR16UU and SBR20UU have a side screw but I believe this is for adjustment / pre-loading as you have already said.
