Thor, or should that be Zeus?

At the moment the only reason I have not gone for a BT30 setup is cost mostly. There are numerous on the market but what is the cost to entry - £1K upwards by the time you add the BT30, Drawbar? What about motors? Do you mount from the top and do a direct drive or some form of belt setup?

EDIT, I may do the cheaper route first. I Can always make another 'outer' Z part and swap it out later.

Never been able to understand this kind of approach if honest because it ends up costing more than twice the amount and wastes lots of time.
If going to all this trouble surely it's worth paying the extra and doing it correctly first time even if it delays the build for while.?
