I considered it at first, but tensioning a gearbox wasn't really what I was looking to do, and that would require 3 separate belts with 3 separate pulleys. Plus I wasn't comfortable cantilevering pulleys 1.5" out on a CIM shaft. Overall gears were thinner, simpler, and the weight difference isn't a problem anyways.
