I had about 5,000 miles on mine, with the short configuration, but never got to test its longevity because I wrecked (totalled) the vehicle. I was using a #970K6 (GM 10-085-752) belt, just give that number to staff at Pep Boys or Auto Zone or wherever and they should have it on hand for $15-$25 tops.
I never had any problems, vibration, or excess play in the new configuration, especially along the longer stretch of unsupported belt. I attribute this to the auto-tensioning via the belt tensioner... kept it tight like it should have been.
Hope that helps.
