Only problems with my belt are 1) it works so fast that I sometimes overestimate how much I've done and have to go back a step...and 2) not much chance to go crosswise with a flange along the bottom of the valve cover, so picking out the previous scratches is tough. The foam does make it nice for curved surfaces too, very forgiving.
But I do think I now know why I couldn't find a factory-made foam-roller belt sander...it's a b*tch getting a belt to track right with "flubbery drums". Sounds like a horrible disease, don't it...?
