It worked great and it is the current method I use for my axis. I will be releasing the drawings for it soon, and it will be new Z axis kit.
It is a simpler than the old method as it uses a lot less of the "fold back" bearings. The fold back bearings were used to get greater engagement of the belts with the pulleys. It turns out that it was overkill and just using a pulley with more teeth does just as well. It is easier to show this rendering than try to take a picture of it.
