I was involved in the thread on CNCZone with Mike Everman who designed this system long before the patent went in and I've built 2 machines using this setup, and 6 machines in total using a belt drive. However, I moved away from it because ball-screws came down so much in price it wasn't worth the trouble for small to medium machines I mostly build. While belts are a good choice for larger machines they do put restraints on the machine regards the best place to locate them to avoid debris, then you have wear and maintenance to consider. Ball-screws are much simpler and far less maintenance.
