Default V2K nomad

I am surprised to see how many people want a V2K nomad but then add they want it to have drive shaft. One of the reason I bought the V2K was to get a belt drive bike. I have yet to find a flaw in the belt drive system. The drive shaft is heavy, bulky, limits customization of the rear wheel. It makes rear wheel removal more complicated and time consuming. It has drive line lash and has a torque all its own when accelerating. You also lose some power. If there is a problem it's more expensive and there are seals which will leak. Can other tell me the draw backs of the belt system.
In short, I just want the nomad bags and the same windscreen and lowers on my V2K.
