OK, so the 4jeri (pronounced forgery) tensioner arrived, and it is brilliant.
It fits easily, doesn't require mucking around with a bloody wrench (2 allen keys are all you need). It has a long arm spring making the leverage really something, so the tension is great. It looks better than the Surly (the frame is a glossy black and so is the 4jeri).
It is just about perfect.
The only minor thing is that the hoop guide on it cannot take a bolted 1/8th chain. So either you remove the bolted link or remove the hoop guide. I did neither as I had a failed Surly Singleator at hand and so I just took the guide from the Singleator for the 4jeri one and it works perfectly.
Awesome product, awesome customer service from the guys at tartybikes.
