oversizing the steppers will reduce thier usable top speed(rpm), but if thier making more torque than you need you could allways gear them up using belts and pullys to increase the speed.
I'm not sure, but i would at least research a bit more about using that motor on the z axis of the x3, it may be on the small side..
also, when you do your x3 are you going to use ballscrews, or use the leadscrews that came in it? this can make a diff too...
If you havent yet, check out cncfusion's x3 balscrew kits, i have the basic 3 axis ballscrew one, and i'm super happy with it... Michael is a great guy and really helped me out when i didnt understand something....(like how to put all the balls back inside a ballscrew when you drop them on the carpet!)
