Your belt broke because you did not perform the required maintenance. PERIOD. The same thing will happen to the SOB in spades. Busting the chain, usually destroys the timing cover, the rails, sprockets, and gets you a valve job. The chain is a troublesome annoyance on the 9000 for some reason. Some bust, some don't. In contrast, winding in a replacement requires a chain, a tensioner and a valve cover gasket. A chain at 60k and every 30 thereafter is cheap insurance for reliability.
