does the surface pro3 or this docking station allow for dual monitor output?

I'm late to the party for answers but here's what I have done at my office for some people. First, yes the monitor chaining can work but so far there aren't great products for it at a reasonable price. Most simply fail or have many issues such as the DELLs. The first employee I got a surface 3 pro + dock for we did the method of 1 output from the dock and 1 from the surface. It work's but isn't as pretty. On our most recent purchase I tried out the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2E1MQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which I like so far. The only problem I've seen so far is that it didn't work on the 3.0 port for some reason and I'll be contacting them about it, but it did work when plugged into one of the 2.0 ports. If you plug it into the 3.0 usb port on the surface itself it works as well. So it must be related to the dock's 3.0 slot power output or something, I'll update this if I get it fixed. They of course have other versions which go straight usb -> hdmi and what not, but our guy needed usb -> vga and I like that the model I linked comes with the 2 adapters. They also have a USB dock with 7 ports that you can run a video adapter off each port. There's a neat youtube video about it but for most people it's a completely unnecessary function.
