I guess you mean that I should use a template as a factory instead of an interface? I'll have to think about it to see what the pro's and con's of each are. The interface pattern should include the template pattern though. (after all, the interface is parameterized...)
If you want to swap your allocators at runtime than an interface is a good solution. They are here for runtime dispatch after all. However all your allocators are forced to be classes.
Coincidentally an article has been written about exactly this maybe a week ago. See http://blog.thecybershadow.net/2013/07/28/low-overhead-components/ .
