Rejoining this conversation after three years. My Morgan steel pulley replacement acquired after the SuperMax failure is still going strong and as quiet as ever. No regrets.
I did notice when it was swapped out that the loose and missing screws did damage the main belt right in the middle. After looking at it, both my dealer and I decided to just use the belt as its structural integrity was hardly effected. It is still on and doing well.
I have never noticed the weight difference between the steel and alloy sprockets. I have also lost weight (about 15 lbs) but acquired wife so all things evened out.

That is all...
