2) I would just get use some extra pololu's.
Just set up the extra 4 on a bread board and wire them all to the same Step/Dir on my RAMPS.
My worry is Z-Wobble.
I haven't really read up on the cause, and since my current Rep-Strap printer doesn't have a moveable bed, it's a non-issue for me atm.
But I'm wondering if the problem would be amplified as a result of having 4 motors.

Has anyone tried or has examples of a print bed that utilizes 4-stepper motors?
My custom repstrap has a fairly large print area, and while currently I'm only using a small portion of it, with a smaller bed,
I'm planning ahead as to how I'm going to achieve the larger bed.
Size is approximately 600mmx300mm
I was thinking 4 Steppers in each corner, where I could fine tune the leveling of the entire bed via a few step adjustments
