I was wondering that too, and grabbed a bipolar motor I have lying
around.  It was noticable, but not dramatic.  Fingers are capable
of generating a lot of torque, it seems.

The linstepper has a smart microcontroller inside.  Can't IT figure
things out, or at least be used to figure things out?  (I guess it's
too late?  All designed and produced?)
