Doug I would not worry about the supply if I was you. The stepper motor determines at what current you are running and we mostly run at far less that the drive rating. The voltage will determine how fast you can go but if you are happy with the max speed at 48v, you will be happy with the Gecko drivers as is. I suggest that you put the lot together and then test the system. At that time you can decide if you want to change. I am willing to bet my sandwiches that you wont notice a single difference at all.
