I take your 14.5 stone and raise you 2! this is how I had been running the seatpost on my cross bike whilst waiting to pick up a bargain inline thomson, which has now been fitted...
see how far forward the saddle is in the clamp? you have little to worry about, especially if just trying out different positions. And you shouldn't worry about damaging your seatpost from raising it, just take a look at how much seatpost shows on most hardtail mtb and 29ers for assurance on that, as long as your post extends (inside the frame) past the joint of the top tube should be fine.
