idler pulley/ belt replacement question

So the top idler pulley disintegrated (on my 96 900SE conv), and I'm researching replacement options.
I think I have decided against the short belt mod, based on what I have read about excessive vibration and Saab going back to the long belt.
So assuming this, I am wondering if I should replace the other pulleys while I have it apart, specifically the lower pulley and the tensioner pulley?
I of course would prefer to save the extra $50, and I also heard that the center pulley can be difficult, so if I don't have to change them all, that's all the better. But at the same time, the $50 also isn't worth being stranded next month and having to do it all over again.
(of course if there is something else I should do while I am down there, I'm receptive to suggestions).
Thanks for the input.
