Droppers......

Hi Guys!
Getting a Bossnut soon (I hope, once paperwork is sorted!) and will be transferring the upgrades from my hardtail over which will become the "with the family" bike.
I currently use a KS eTen remote dropper. Although it has been an excellent buy and improved my riding dramatically, its only 100mm travel and I am considering getting a larger drop post.
So I am after some advice on what to go for next. Do I opt for 125mm thinking that would be enough, or go all in and go for 150mm?
Also which post to go for? Reverb? Lev? Or think of another brand?
Any comments welcome!

I'd go for a lev dx and as for size, measure how high the saddle needs to be then decide0

Definitely wait until you have the bike before deciding what size to get - I can only fit a pretty much slammed 125mm dropper on my Bossnut. I have a Reverb, but to be honest I'm not that keen on the button, and with it being hydraulic, I can't really change it... A cable operated dropper gives more flexibility with the button, you can even use a modified shifter if you want to.0

Thanks guys!
I wont be getting anything until the bike is in my possession to start, and I'll try it with my current eTen first, but the measure idea is a damn good one!Bossnut - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=13069531
