Stephen - right on!! ------ And for those of you that don't know which way to go on this ( no offense intended ) get either a SMALLER motor pulley ( not recommended unless there is no other choice ) OR get a LARGER DRIVEN PULLEY. AND as long as you are at it, spend the extra and don't get one of those "die cast pulleys", but rather a machined cast iron pulley. More bucks - yes, but worth it. You will be totally surprised at how much saw vibration just disappears. You can further eliminate vibration by replacing the belt with a link belt which is purchasable through a variety of woodworking specialty catalogs as well as, I believe, through WW Graingers.
