Ah, so the reason would be to create as less of variables possible to mess-up the configuration. Sounds logical.
On my other printer I have imitation Pololu's and they also were quite easy to setup. I don't know if they are DRV8825's but I guess not, since I can't find out anything on the sellers website about that. Over there they are called Pololu Stepsticks, but I found out they are actually copies and not the original real deal.
I wonder, why would people not buy A4988's? I only see good things in them and they work very flexible and you can even set the oscillation which is a sure plus! And they cost the same ;)
