keep it simple.
What motors did you dislike last year?

The RS775-18 was an awesome motor, and with the ability to use 4 of them there was plenty of power on tap for many applications, including stalled-motor setups. We had two 775s on our arm (see pic below) that routinely stalled and were fine. It only took a few watts at stall for each motor to maintain position, FWIW.
