The cost of servos is going to be quite high, so i'll probably for closed loop steppers instead. However the ClearPath servos seems tempting. Is there any good reason to use servos instead of closed loop steppers?

Closed loop steppers don't have the speed or torque capabilities of servos and are sold as an 'economical' alternative. The only good reason to use closed loop steppers is because they are cheaper.

Some cheap servos like the JMC can be similar price to most closed loop steppers, it'll be interesting to know if anyone has tested how their performances compare.

Cheers,
