Buying a power supply for steppers

$

Hi there,

I need some advice before I buy my PSU. There are a lot of options here with major price differences and I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

I have a Gecko G540 drive with NEMA motors with an inductance of 2.8. So according to their manual I can use a power supply up to 50vdc, even though the motors can handle a bit more.

Most of the PSU's I've seen are 48vdc and I think this should be okay right?

I will be using all 4 steppers. I've read that the power supply should be able to pump 0.6*(sum of all motor amps). So for me it will be 0.6*(14).

So theoretically something like this would cover it?

Any other suppliers worth looking at? Am I doing this right?
