The belts are well documented, and after you figure out what is important, the docs are not bad. You can easily check what belt width, and tooth counts will support what loads.

As you guessed, it is bigger!
The most relevant piece here is comparing XL belt to 5mm gt2, pretty much identical belts in terms of size and weight. It's amazing the tooth profile makes such a difference.
The amount of sense this rule makes is irrelevant. It is still the rule, and breaking this rule violates something that i'm sure all of you have heard of. Does gracious professionalism ring a bell?
