Remember, while it is true in the bigger, better, faster, more power, my
dad can whoop your dad ego building manner that us men approach things,
that the HD and GT series belts do have better specs in regards to
registration accuracy, there have been a lot of machines built over the
years and still running that use the XL and L series belts. While the
tendency is to want to over build and over spec everything on a machine
the results will not be based on the best component you put in the
system, but the worst. With all the possible places to have losses of
accuracy the difference between the older trapezoidal shape belts and
the newer rounded tooth belts are probably not the major factor in most
of our machines.
