Next step is to measure inertias and friction (via Ino-load) and then you can start optimizing gear ratios. For a purely inertial load ideal gearing is inertial match. For a complex mix of inertial and friction loads one can simulate things in a fairly straightforward fashion and find optimum gear ratios but remember to iterate on winding temperature - resistivity of Cu changes about 0.4%/°C. Fun stuff!
