They go for around $70 U.S. from Mouser and are worth every penny if you 
REALLY NEED a 32 bit controller with all those features:

- programable velocity profile
- commanded position from 0 to 2 billion+ encoder counts
- integration limitting
- 7 different interrupt sources
- 32 bit programable PID gains
- every imaginable form of data reporting
- 3 different stopping modes
- commanded velocity or commanded position mode
