A little more than half, according to
these guys. Still, at 0.23#/ft for 35 and 0.10#/ft for 25, that's 6# less of chain by switching to 25.
Also, you actually could switch to belts, you'd just have to use open length belting with a clamp to close it up. As long as you're running your lift a short enough distance that you don't have to run the clamp over a pulley, it'd be fine.
