Frau Toad has a Pugsley too; and she bought a Surly Midnight Special earlier this year ... and she's totally in love with it (she's barely used her CF Bianchi road bike since getting the Midnight Special). I expect QBP will keep Surly alive and well, even if it's a niche product; and Salsa will be the sexy brand for those that are into that kinda stuff.
I know you are Surly fan but their fan base is dwindling. I only live 3 hours east of you and Surly bikes are more or less non-existant on the summer and winter fat bike trails. There is one guy that I know that rides a Krampus but only uses it occasionally for bike packing. The shop here that used to sell Surly no longer carries them.
