rega P8 Ania pro setup questions

I just got a P8 and Ania pro.  Very vague instructions from. Rega.  comes with 2 belts and the motor spindle has a place to put 2 belts on so I assume you use both belts but they only say belt and not belts and it looks like 2 in the picture but not sure.  I'm assuming you use both? 

Setting the VTF for the cart.  I set the counterweight as suggested in the manual and even double checked the tracking force with a digital scale.  It mistracks badly at 2.0 grams and seems to track Ok but even heard a mis track there too.  Any ideas?  The instruction manual hardly has any info and the website not to much either.

@ejlif I was in your situation with the P8 and Ania Pro and decided at the time to upgrade the cartridge to the Apheta 3. What a revelation that was! The Apheta 3 is an excellent cartridge and took the P8 to the next level.

I eventually found an insane deal on a P10/Aphelion 2 that was too good to resist otherwise I would be extremely satisfied with the P8/Apheta 3. 

Like you, the ease of setup and use plus the quality of reproduction provided by the top Rega's make them a joy to use.

@valinar Good catch, I overlooked that when I was replying above and it's concerning a Rega dealer in this thread said only one.
