I hate to disagree but MST was introduced in displayport 1.2 per the post on Wikipedia that you sent me -

DisplayPort version 1.2 was approved on 22 December 2009. The most significant improvement of the new version is the doubling of the effective bandwidth to 17.28 Gbit/s in High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2) mode, which allows increased resolutions, higher refresh rates, and greater color depth. Other improvements include multiple independent video streams (daisy-chain connection with multiple monitors) called Multi-Stream Transport.

The two Dell monitors have DP1.2, the Surface Pro 3 has DP1.2 and using them directly without using the M/Connect or DisplayLink they work just fine. I am investigating with Humanscale at the same time in regards to the hardware which it might still be but it should work using DP1.2 per their hardware specs.
