I can't really see how you'd get more wear with a manual tens. Trying to think it thro, ok, it's not moving. But neither is an auto once it has taken up current slack? Do you have any thoughts about what kind of other problems a manual one might cause? Both types are just a foot sitting against the guide, applying the tension. The manual one can't move unless you slacken it yourself. The auto one will increment out to take up slack as the chain stretches. But the spring can fail on an auto. What can fail on a manual?
