Belt to chain conversion: worth it for the Zero FX/FXE/FXS?

I'm considering changing my bike from a belt drive to a chain. Has anyone made this switch on their FX, FXE, or FXS? Which conversion kit did you use, and how did the ride feel afterward? Did it feel more responsive, easier to maintain, or was there anything unexpected?
 
Switched to a chain kit on my FX after I snapped a belt while out on a trail ride. I got it from a local shop, and I noticed it felt way more responsive right away. It’s easier to trust on those bumpy paths. Maintenance can be a bit of a hassle but honestly I think it’s worth it.
