Which brings me to the subject of interchangeability of the  belts/pulleys:

told me such a horror story about replacing his  pulley that I decided to take
a gamble and put the new belt on the original  pulley. So far, a few years and
many thousands of miles later, no apparent  problems.

What do you make of that?

There are now two belts available. The First generation belt in no  longer 
available. So yes, the Elast belt is v3.0 I never heard Joe's horror  story, but 
I have changed several of the early pulleys when they were still a  warranty 
matter, and had no particular trouble.
