Right now, I usually just leave my seatpost in the same location the entire ride and try to work around it.
I was skeptical also, and didn't want to spend $300 for something I wasn't sure of.. So I bought a KS Eten dropper, $140. Only drops 100mm but I find that it is amazing. I started using it and still my timing for dropping and raising is not always good. but I get over obstacles and down hills so much easier than before. I wouldn't be without one now.
