Thanks for your comments.

I can believe it, just looking at the design. But arguably, it might
simply be a matter of getting used to change. I can imagine that the
WL causes slight pressure in the center of the chest. With T31, the
pressure is distributed across its length -- mostly where the
electrodes are, not so much in the center.

I decided to stick with the T31 for now. I was tempted to get a T31C,
just in case I upgrade the receiver within the next 2-4 years. But I
was not sure if the T31C is compatible with the A1 receiver. I'm
"sure" it is. But whereas the WL specs say the WL is, the T31C specs
say nothing about backward compatibility (sigh). I have never had a
problem with HRM crosstalk anyway. Then again, I have not tried to use
it in a field of 1000 marathon runners (yet).
