The Jesel catalog indicates the main advantages as being reduced harmonics reaching the camshaft as well as improved durability.

Chains usually last the life of the vehicle but make more noise..

Belt's you need to replace at intervals but are more quiet and don't flex as much..

I personally prefer chains

And if you have a Ford Exploder the chain guides make god awful noises when they wear out... Sounds like your rods are going to come through the pan at any moment

I would probably go with the Jessel belt if it's as strong as You say and I have no reason to doubt that ,,,,,,,,,,smoother engine , less wear on the valve train as a whole ,,,,,,,more power granted a little bit just from less vibration .
