Is this better than the 800Watt version?

It appears that you developed the HDZ at least partially to support heavier spindles, right? The OP reportedly has a HDZ on a XXL machine. Has it been determined that the added weight of the spindle/mount and HDZ are compatible with the standard X and Y Axis drives on the XXL (or even the small machine)?
In contrast, the OP here said that the 800 W spindle “The OEM Z axis will work fine with the spindle motor, weight is very similar and spindle will fit into OEM mouting system with the Makita shim that comes with the Shapeoko.”
