Hickory - Inovance SV660N vs Stepperonline A6

Strongly considering Centroid (Acorn or Hickory) for an upcoming router build and have a couple of questions.
1a. My research indicates that the Stepperonline A6 series of drives are rebranded Inovance SV660N's. Does anyone know if these are compatable with Hickory?
1b. Does anyone know of a distributor for Inovance SV660N's in the US, or who will sell/ship to the US? I've been drawing a blank finding these anywhere.
2. Not Hickory specific, but what is the difference between the Mill and Router software/license? Is it just the GUI buttons and some macros, or are there more fundamental changes?
Thanks much

I'm not so sure they are the same. I did some digging some time ago and found what seemed to be the OEM. At this time, the StepperOnline A6 series is not supported.
Inovance SV660N is supported.
1b. Does anyone know of a distributor for Inovance SV660N's in the US, or who will sell/ship to the US? I've been drawing a blank finding these anywhere.
This I do not know. They have a European division but I'm not sure if they will sell or point you to a distributor.

The differences are GUI and macro changes. Everything else under the hood is the same.

Thanks very much for the guidance - that narrows down my servo brands.

Thank you, but I've sourced some Leadshine EL8's for this project.
