We also have to make changes often, and having to take the entire set of wheels down every time you want to move the belt is a hugh waste of time (not to talk about the mess and nerves the spacers create).

You express some concerns that a lot of teams encouter when they think of belts. They do have their advantages but your design needs to be solid and your mechanical team has little to no room for error. The smallest amount off creates slack leading to ratcheting.
However, I am optomistic that Andymark will produce a solid, easy to use system that is easier than previous KOP chassis to assemble and maintain!
