Belts have better damping characteristics under load. Try running a chain setup vs a belt setup over 12 inches to a high speed shooter wheel and you will see a big difference in the speed control, efficiency and the damping.

Belts are quite. There is less friction loss with belts which means higher motor efficiency. Chain tends to stretch over use belts do not. Lastly belts are easy to align they are more forgiving in long runs and when properly tensioned don’t require chain guides
