The best thing about the magic gearing, is that once you found the perfect combination to get a good tension, you won't ever need to tighten your chain again when it go slack.

Speakin from some experience, I'd say it don't quite work like that. If you've got absolutely zero scope for movement in the dropouts you' won't get consistently good chain tension with a magic gear. My vertical dropout frame enabled a little back and forth, no more than half a mill, but enough to help. Its still a lot of effing about, and a much better long term solution is an eccentric hub, which is what I went for.
