For dual extrusion, there are a least two other possibilities:
1. Diamond hot end. See [somei3deas.wordpress.com].
2. Independent dual (or more) X carriages (IDEX). The Duet WiFi supports these, see [duet3d.com].
Both of these require 6 stepper drivers, so with 5-driver electronics you need to add some sort of expansion board for the 6th driver.

Im leaning towards the duet wifi currently. I thought I read that there is another version coming out, not the ethernet version. Is this true?

Also it seems that the speeds I want may not be attainable if I understand it correctly. 24v 0.9 Steppers and higher micro stepping. I saw that you could do 16x micro with interpolation, but being honest I have no idea what that is and if it will allow me to print at higher speeds while retaining great accuracy.
