Anyone used one of these yet?

Saw it on here, through Likin Bikin. Just trying to get the skinny. I was planning on using a soulcraft.

Spring or push tensioner?

The Misfit spring tensioner pushes in the down direction only which reduces chain wrap and can cause skipping under torque. The push tensioner won't have that limitation - http://www.psyclestore.com/products/Misfit-Psycles-PUSH-Tensioner.html
X 2 , you definately want to maximize your chain wrap .
I was looking at a Surly Singleator...anyone know if that one is push or spring? I hadn't thought about that, but now that I do, I definitely want a push tensioner.

edit: I see it can be both...thought i'd add that in case anyone else was wondering.

both it comes with both springs and directions on how to change them out. I use one in the push setting.
