Ariston motor question: Is the RD80 motor the same as RD11S? Interchangeable?

I'm about to purchase an Ariston RD11S turntable, but would first like some advice. This particular unit has had it's motor replaced with one from an Ariston RD80. The technician who did the work says that the motors are the same. The RD80 motor has the spindle on it that requires the round belt, vs the flat/square belt and I understand the spindles cannot be changed. Is there any reason why I should not purchase this table...in other words, is there any problem or issue with using the RD80 motor in the RD11S?
