Also its about ~$100 extra per gearbox, not $50.

For shaft mounting the width of the wheels is not what matters, the length of the hub is what matters. A hub does not necessarily need to span the entire width of the wheel. A 1.5" wide wheel may operate perfectly fine with a 1" long hub, and still leave space for a .25" spacer between the hub and bearing on a 1.25" output shaft.
