My old school Merc belts have proven to be very reliable. Mine are over 30 years old and still have life left in them. Only reason I replaced this one is because I had to cut it.
In regards to the new Merc belts, so far I'm not very impressed with their quality control.

Of course I do carry 2 sets of replacement belts. But I do boat in a water wilderness where you might not see another boat for a week and you don’t see land.
