Superlative AGB and Aero S-One - did I choose poorly?

Will a Superlative adjustable gas block (solid) fit in an Aero S-One handguard? I already have the gas block and I just bought the S-One. Then I learned of possible fitment issues. I don't want to try installing yet for fear of scratching the handguard and making it unreturnable.

Ballistic Advantage 16" .308 bbl (mid-length)
Superlative AGB .750" Solid
? Aero S-One

If the S-One doesn't fit, any recommendation for a budget friendly handguard?
 
My .75" set screw SA block in my Grendel fits in the Atlas One-S handguard on my Grendel. It's snug, but no contact.

If the you happen to have some interference in your setup, I used one of the Dirty Bird handguards in my latest 6 ARC, and am very satisfied with it for the price. The dirty bird handguard has an attachment scheme kind of similar to the Atlas, which seems very solid.
