I suspect the tensioners and rollers are made by the same people (both use SKF bearings) and the belts on both are very good quality plus both supply Vx!  :y

Last ones i got were Contitech @£50 - good quality.  If Gates were cheaper then i'd have used Gates.  Used Gates in the past on other motors no probs.
As Mark said both are OEM suppliers
