Servos don't "correct" errors. They can simply make you aware of them. But a properly designed and operated stepper system should never be off-position. This is not an inherent characteristic of steppers, but rather an indicator that the stepper system (motors, drivers, power supplies) were either poorly matched to the requirements, or are being operated outside their capabilities. Under those conditions, servos will fare no better. How would you "correct" for a 1/2" position error anyway? The part is long since scrap by the time that happens.
