Think it's worth it, or should I just stop being a cheap shit and say f it and shell out $500+ for the billets?
I do think the roush is worth it, the $500 billet ones, not so much. Unless you are after the bling factor of course. Like stated a few times in here already, there are multiple ways to keep these belts from slipping on high psi. Pulley sizes, idlers, braces, tensioner, belt brand, belt length, pulley coatings ect... dont overthik it

I had the stock tensioner, with notch ground down and the Metco brace, I was getting belt slip with 3.25 upper/2lb lower, 100mm snub idler, still made 790 at 5900ish. I bought the roush, I will be reporting results soon
