    Dig deep because worth every extra penny.

    Remember Inductance not all motors are the same even if same Nm rating.

    Don't Full step action will be rough and Don't really think of Micro stepping to increase resolution and more to do with having smooth running motors. Buy Digital drives and you'll get lovely smooth motors with less Micro stepping.

    Yes that's what I would do using 10mm pitch screw with 1.5:1 ratio which increases torque and still gives decent performance. I've used this setup on machines with heavier gantry than yours so know it works ok.
