Morning sexy people. Just wondered how much drop I could expect from a dropper seat post?

One of my bikes has a very short seat tube and sometimes I need to get the saddle right out of the way but I also need a big extension (steady) for the pedally bits. Am using a 350mm post at the moment and dropping it 100-150mm but it is too long to drop any further.

Basically I'm looking for a 350mm post that drops about 200mm (somehow) is that too much to expect?

    Pretty sure the shortest Reverb is 355mm with 100mm drop, the 125mm drop are longer.

    The Black Mamba is 10 inches isn't it?

    Another option might be something like a Titec Scoper... I used one (well, the NC-17 copy) in my SX trail since the pierced seattube messed with the seat height something rotten. It's a total faff, but it did the job.
