2013 Quick Drive Belt Damage

I have a 2013 Pro with 162 X3 track and Carl's Clutching. The sled has about 700 miles on it with zero issues. However, I did get a small stick that broke off and fell into the Quick Drive side through one of the vents on the hood. It lodged itself down under the lower pulley and eventually melted the top (cooling fins) of the belt on the outside edge about 1/4" in. That was several hundred miles back. Several people have told me not to worry about it because the fins on top of the belt are not that critical. I would appreciate further sage advice from the crew on the Forum. I don't want to spend the money on a new (2014) belt until I have to do it. If the current belt fails, I am pretty sure that they won't warranty it due to the existing damage. What should I do? Ride it WOT until the belt fails or buy a new 14 belt and carry the old one as a spare?

Buy a new one, carry it as a spare and ride it until the original belt goes south. Might as well get as much use out of it as you can.
