Pug - thanks alot for your comments, I did some more reading in the forum on polarca.com and found there are alot of unhappy with the new belt mostly because of battery life (4, 6, 9 months and their done for some). There is also alot of disappointments with the newer models (I guess until they work out the kinks), now I'm really confused and I'm not a good decision maker at the best of times
