For what it's worth ... I had replaced my belt with the longer, 842, but as of today, switched back.
It seemed to affect the RPMs and acceleration in a negative way. It was slow up to speed; once there, it ran well ... even hitting one of my fastest runs (in a tuck with a tailwind - 63MPH).
I was going to try the 11g weights I have, but think they are too light for my set-up. I ended up staying with the 13.5s and the original belt (835).
Out of curiosity, I video'd the CVT with the cover off. there didn't seem to be too much difference in the ride height on the variator, but there was a significant amount of slop with the longer belt that also showed up on the cover as rubbage.
