The encoder on the worm shaft will make the 7000 or 7200 steps on the motor side irrelevant (otherwise it is a huge issue for GoTo).
However, then the backlash in gearbox is irrelevant as well. Why do you do this ?
But, if you really want new DEC motor, then yes, another one like RA is better idea, I think. Cost will be lower, and the result will be the same (less backlash in DEC motor transmission).
