But, the Universal stepper controller is more "complete" as it stands. With the Mesa, you often have to add breakout boards and adapter boards.
With the Pico Systems boards, there are places to insert up to 8 solid state relays directly on the main board, and there are 16 opto-isolated inputs directly on the board, with an integrated DC-DC isolated converter to power the sense switches etc. That narrows the apparent price difference in many installations.
