Default Timing Belt Upgrade ? Worth it ?

I have heard people saying that its just the flashy belt colors that sell these belts. Are they really worth the price ? I can get an OEM replacement for under $70 vs $120 for a greddy for my h22, is it really any better/stronger than OEM ?

I started another thread about these Gates "sport" belts--they are new, blue in color and supposed to be comparable in strength to the Greddy, Toda, PE--and they have them for d-series as well as b-series--the cherry is that they are around $85--I am trying to find some info on guys who have tried them......
