I was recently trying to decide if I should go for a stepper or a servo Torus pro. With the new website at Novakon I realized that the prices were in USD. Oops I'm in Canada so that's not good. So now it looks like the stepper version is my only option and affording it is a bit of a stretch.

My question is how important are those servos? I am currently using a Hercus V300 with servos and they work fine although with a few quirks. The Hercus is just too small and I need a lot more room on the table. Speed is not terribly important to me as my competition all use manual machines. Am I going to miss anything by not having servos? I do want to have the power drawbar and its quite important to me. To get the servos I would have to give up the drawbar and save for a few more months.

If I need to ask a more specific question please let me know. Thanks in advance for any replies.
