If your meaning Leadshine closed loop then your paying for the encoder and novelty of closed loop. The AM882 are Leadshine drives and they are not expensive.

I like to aim high in life and then work down from there ;-)
Me I'd buy AC Servo's if money wasn't concern. Or maybe these, not tried any yet but heard good things about them.
