[AMSAT-BB] Worm gear drive boxes for AZ and EL

I was wondering how well would a worm gear assembly hold up for AZ and EL drives and what might be the drawbacks. I ran across one persons rotor project that uses worm gear boxes with Nema 21 stepper motors. The gear boxes themselves cost about 45 dollars each and appear to be quite rugged and waterproof.
