Mountain bikes now are set up with the dropper pull lever on the left in the place the shifter pull lever used to be. The small rocker levers are not as nice to use.
There is a dropper with an integral lever. I don't think the OP is coming back but it seems like the solution since his wife loves the bike and a Seven with couplers was not cheap. Also, I have a Seven with a black seatpost and it looks fine to me.
