262oz. VS. 282oz. Stepper Motors

This is what I did:

I used a longer MakerSlide and rod.

Would I do it again? Not sure. Having the same motors everywhere is nice but not sure if the stronger motor on the Z is worth it.
I do enjoy the higher Z axis mostly for easier tool changing. More clearance for my hands and tools especially when stock is still underneath the spindle.

However bigger motors on the X and Y are totally worth it!!!
