Do NOT buy a chinese motion controller, unless you want partial functionality, and no support.
You can probably put together a stepper system for half that, that performs twice as well.
A $2K upgrade on a sherline that does little more than reducing noise is crazy, but that's just my opinion.

I paid 1k for a basic Sherline stepper system so as far as cost goes in comparison, its rather insignificant considering the performance gain.
