So now that these have been out for a while, what's the verdict?
Any creaking, loosening, finish wearing off etc?
Does it have height markings? Can't find a conclusive answer online.

had mine since may. It still holds my seat up, no creaking, slipping etc. It has height markings, and they dont wear off. HTH

Looks great & kept it's looks, paint good, level indicators good.
Clamp still perfect.
Mine is in an orange p7 frame with a hope qr clamp.
It does creak if not kept really clean, greased & super tight.
I do really like it though & would get it again.

looks good and keeps my saddle where I want it. never had any creaking, and I use a Hope QR collar.

I wished they'd made the lever on the QR's bigger. Just a bit small.

Coogan you started liking big things?

A mate bought one and it's constantly slipping. That could be because he's fat or the fact he paired it with a Hope QR clamp (or perhaps both)

QR clamp isn't the wrong way round if you like to stop all the crud that's thrown off the rear wheel getting caught in the mechanism of the QR. It works fine that way, no slippage.
Maybe people who struggle with Hope QRs have them the wrong way round?
PS i'm a mighty chunker and the post doesn't slip.

How to they compare to Thomson's? I've always bought Thomson, but kinda like the look of these

Main difference is by the time you have dropped the bits out of the thompson 5 times and finally got it fitted you have already done your first ride on the hope!
After that adjustment is easy
After that it's just the same really something to get between your saddle and the bike
