For double the price, for the same overall functionality, seems like waiting is the better option.
NOW, once they have droppers that you dont have to weight the post to drop it. THAT will be a major game changer. I think someone has one in the works...
you definitely have a point, and im FAR from rushing out to buy a new dropper (even the AXS derailluer and shifter im not sprinting towards) but its nice to get impressions if i can from real world people.
