IMO it's getting a lot harder to buy a decent ss tensioner, the cheap ones have heaps of play/slop in the pivot and the better ones are overly expensive.
Also, I feel tensioner a are as vulnerable as mechs in terms of damage if you drop the bike etc so you lose a big advantage of ss by using a tensioner.
