Not realy, if you use dual shafted steppers (all mine are dual shafted) , then you can still put handle on other side, and calibration wouldn be to difficult as that wheel has scale on it so you know exactly how much it move per on full turn, devide that with steps per revolution of the stepper, and you got movement per step for z axis.
