No one's actually answered if droppers are worth having?
I want one, at the moment sometimes I put my saddle down for mountainbiking and it stays like that for a month or so, which puts me off commuting through parks because it's too low for the easy ride to work, then I put it up for a couple of months and have some exciting visits to the trails when I am basically wedged on the seat... The idea of dropping £200 because i can't be arsed to move my saddle more regularly irks me (if I could find a cheap one for £100 or less I'd buy one in an instant)...

Remote lever is well worth having. The convenience of seeing a descent and just pushing a button to lower the saddle, and then at the bottom of a climb while carrying momentum from the previous descent being able to raise it again without having to take a hand from the bars makes things so much easier. Having to take a hand from the bars and grapple with a lever under my crotch whilst at speed on uneven terrain does not have appeal in this or most other contexts.
