Suspension seatpost for captain?

Has anyone run a suspension seatpost with a stoker stem attached? I recently switched over to a riser stoker stem, which opens up this possibility. I struggle much more with saddle sores on the tandem than I do on my other bikes setup with the same geometry/saddles. I believe this is because of how stiff it is (08' alloy C'dale road tandem), or perhaps because it is more difficult to consistently get out of the saddle. I'm experimenting with saddles, but thought a suspension seatpost may be helpful as well. My wife and I typically do 50-100 mile rides on a mix of pavement and gravel.

I'd love know what your experiences have been and if there are other solutions captains have found for saddle sores on long touring/bikepacking rides?
