Bando alt belt - 2320 or 2315?
So a fellow owner in Texas has sent me some Bando alt belts since I've yet to use a Gates that lasted longer than about 2 months. 
The code on her belts is:
2320 9.5x820La
The code on the one I last got from the dealership (before they discontinued them) is:
2315 9.5x800La
Any comments on the difference between the two types? Should I be concerned about using the 2320?

If it fits, who cares.

I know this thread is super old, but I use Bando 2320 belts recently and I keep shredding them apart. I have searched and searched and searched for a solution. I do run a 3L220 yoohoo belt, but it deflects a good bit for its length, and it doesn't even get hot. Also, I had this problem before I had the yoohoo, which I thought would aide my solution. The Bando belt seems to sit higher than the edges of the pulley. I can see on my brand new alternator's fresh black pulley where the belt rubs to, and it's only about halfway down. Is there any difference running a 9mm rather than a 9.5?
I'm really running out of options here. I have checked deflection, pulley alignment and seating, and more recently, replaced the alternator. Not much money left.
