Hi,
just to be sure, the Ramps 1.4 are working fine with the Hall endstops right ?
Yup, works fine.
A word of warning though, the connection between the little circuit board and the actual magnetic detection chip is pretty fragile. 3-4 bends and it'll break, so only bend it into place once you're sure you know how you want it. I've lost 2 hall-o endstops because of this. It's a case of being very careful when bending it into place. You'll see what I mean once you get them.

I've ended up going with the Rumba with the A4988's. The difference between those and the DRV seem like it's simply down to the heat and sound. Nobody seems to have been able to confirm or deny any quality differences. In addition I've seen a lot of people having the print pausing constantly when at 1/32. Having the hot end constantly stopping whilst still hot cant do much good to the final print quality. I'll stick with what I know works for now I think :)
Gotta also give massive props to RepRapDiscount. I ordered the ultimate Rumba kit on Tuesday evening, about 9pm. It's being delivered today. So less than 48 hours to get it from Asia to the UK using their standard delivery option :)
