Default Single axis stepper controller w/single programmable relay output?

How about that single stepper controller that Sherline makes, P/N 8850?
It comes with a 23 size stepper and appears to have GPI/GPO
functionality on a mini-din connector.


That would do almost exactly what I want. Unfortunately it's a bit
pricey for me given everything else I'd need to build. For $25 more I
can buy a turnkey setup:

Not having $525 to burn, I was looking for a cheap solution. I don't
recall what the Frog CNC sold for, but I thought I recalled something
selling for around $150 or so a few years ago. Maybe I'm wrong.
Looks like the StackShot is a better bargain than I thought!

Thanks,
