Serpentine belt life on 99-02 9-3?

Nice day for a 60k check on my 00 9-3. Plan to replace the oil, plugs, cabin and engine air filter. Possibly serp belt and idler pulley, but I see no cracks on the serp belt. How long do these last with the one pulley setup as on the 99-02 9-3? Is 60k replacement a good interval or too conservative?
My other car, 94 900 SE (144k) eats belts and idler pulleys every 50-60k, so I got in the habit of replacing them before failure. Maybe the two pulley arrangement on the older NG900's are tougher on belts? At any rate, I sure wont miss having to dork with the center pulley on the 9-3.
