+1 for KS
KS for me but I think whatever you get buy local because it seems every single brand seems to have issues from time to time.
I bought my KS i900r 11 months ago, seemed perfect until just recently when it started dropping about 10mm or so by itself. I thought it just needed a service so contacted pushie to find out how to go about getting it serviced and they said it sounded like a warranty issue, I sent it away to them, they received it on Monday and I had it back on Friday with new insides under warranty and a new head that I asked for. 5 day turn around including shipping! Try that if you buy your post from Jensens or chain reaction and have a problem.
Adjustable seatposts are in their infancy and while reliability seems to be reasonable things seem to go wrong more often than other components, I reckon you're playing with fire ordering overseas until they becoming absolutely rock solid reliable like suspension items are now.
On the subject of pushie I was blown away with how good they were, when I bought the post they were distributed by a different company - no problem, they totally looked after it. They told me what was happening every step of they way i.e. when they got the post, how much my replacement head would cost, when the work was finished, when it was shipped back, everything, I didn't wonder what was going on once, by far the best service I have had from anyone in bikes in the 17 years I have been riding mtb. And now the post is even better than before - just like anyone who has one says about KS, minimal rotational movement, no slop, smooth action, excellent remote, my only gripe had been the cable getting dirty very easily (it's very exposed at the seat) - have hopefully remedied that now with sealed caps on the cable outer and using a dry teflon coated inner, super light action at the lever with this combo and hopefully will last.
To answer the OP sorry you still have to sit on it to lower it.
