The kit I have on mine has a gear on the centre azimuth pivot bolt and a cheaper 2000 step encoder to give 4000 steps effectively. This introduces potential inaccuracies with keeping the gears properly meshed, tolerances etc. Better to avoid gears if possible and use the highest resolution encoders attached directly to the axis of movement.
As for upgrading from 8192 to 10000 step encoders I wouldnt bother either as there would be little to gain.
