Furthermore, the majority of people rule that the belt does not provide Wisdom to AC for balance reasons. This is just a heavily suggested house rule, though.

It's primary function is the AC bonus, but it also gives monks increased damage, as well as an increased number of stunning fist attacks per day. In fact, anyone with the stunning fist feat benefits from the belt, since it increases your unarmed strike damage to that of a fifth level monk of your size, as well as granting you the additional stunning fist. Saying it is too expensive for its benefits is like saying that a Phylactery of Undead Turning is too expensive, just because a rogue has it and not a cleric.
