.... And yes, I agree with you that fitting two motors would require less work to do.

I had a chuckle when I read that. I was faced with that recently when my spindle drive modifications got in the way of re-installing the change gears. New feed drive method for a lathe. I kept thinking about motorising the feed, but like you I do not need a CNC lathe and it would have been impossible to resist the temptation to go all the way.
