New stepper motor in MK4 announcement, what about XL

Hello,

As said in the MK4 announcement, they're using new stepper motor with incredible precision! They're also said to eliminate VFA.

Will we see them also on the XL?

Hopefully! Or if not the same ones, very similar ones, especially considering the price point of the XL vs the MK4.

Just one observation -- Prusa doesn't claim to eliminate VFA, but help eliminate it - in other words, make it better. I don't think there's currently  a stepper motor available to general consumers that would fully eliminate it.

The steppers in the XL are much bigger than the Mk3/Mk4 and AFAIK, the XL steppers are 1.8 degree motors.  CoreXY moves in a different manner and effectively generates smaller steps.
