I have the belt drive and yes it is a little more difficult to drill a half inch hole but it is doable. Think of it this way, if you're drilling a half inch hole with the plastic years you'll have a higher probability of breaking a gear. With the belt drive, if you're having trouble making the cut the only issue you'll have is stalling out the motor. Just go slow on your feed and use lubrication. Honestly this is about the only negative that I could think of in regard to the belt drive. Everything else you use it for will be much improved and quieter than the stock plastic gear set up.
