Closed Loop and Prusa?

I've been interested for a while about whether we will see closed-loop stepper motors on Prusa machines or if there is someone who has been able to modify their Prusa, so I thought I would post here and see what the community thinks and if any of you have any opinions on the topic.

Thanks.

I don't see much advantage.  Already positional accuracy is well below an extrusion width and speed/acceleration is limited by the viscosity of molten filament.  They might mean that Prusa could use one size smaller motors or use a fraction less power - most of the power consumption is for heating which won't change.

Cheerio,
