With my absurd saddle height, the full drop position it looks like the regular seat height for most people. It's significantly more stable off road, and I've already taken to riding with it in the dropped position when standing. No more saddle hitting me in the thighs. Going down hills I feel like I'm 12 years old on a BMX bike. It's pretty great.
as for the saddle height...its bar level in this pic. Is the saddle dropped in the pic as it looks like a common setup.

Worst MTB ever, as it will only clear a 38 tire in the back, and can only climb to about 15% off-road or the back wheel starts to lose all traction, as it has you know... road bike geometry.
I also won't ride an MTB 150 miles. This is definitely better for that.
