Tim; what were the tensioner and idler pulley bearings like on your car? Mine were rather rough (at just 2,000 miles more than yours) posing a greater risk of failure than the belts themselves.

will you stand over someones engine after you have explicitly told them that they shouldnt bother changing the belt? (which has been my concern regarding all of your 'proof' - I speak from experience that belts can last, way beyond time and distance, but never would I recommend saving the time and money, as you have done in the past on others' cars).
I do wonder though, how many weeks it took the OP to change his belts though?
