I've had one for a couple months. Has worked perfectly since day one and the lever was a big step up from the older Reverb that I had. Moving from 125 to 170 was really noticeable on the steep stuff. Highly recommend it. Friend has had the experience.
One up Dropper
Yes, lot of wet riding the past few weeks here
I've had one for about a month now (170mm and the one up remote).
Bang for the buck it is amazing. Have had no issues with it and the fact that it has such a low stack height is great (I have a short inseam but am on an xl frame so maximizing dropper travel really helps me)
Only downsides:
The lever is just ok, and it's not cheap. I would skip the lever and buy a wolftooth.
The action itself is just ok. Like the lever it's fine and it works, but its not as smooth as a transfer and does not make the nice "whack" a transfer makes when it tops out or bottoms out, which is nice feedback.
For what it's worth I have a fox transfer with wolftooth on my other bike, and I tried swapping the remotes just to compare them separately.
If fox made a 170 and I didn't need low stack height, I would stick with the transfer as I prefer the action, but if you need 170mm, or low stack height, or lower price, the one up is tough to beat! The action difference is more of a nitpick.

I disagree with you about the lever. The OneUp lever is great! I love that it sits further back and that it's concave. Their claim that it requires a lot less thumb movement is totally true. A buddy has a WolfTooth lever on his Specialized dropper and I can't imagine using that lever after experiencing the OneUp lever. The lever is a major plus of the OneUp dropper.
I haven't experimented with this yet, as it's a giant PITA to take the seat off, but you can adjust the pressure of the OneUp dropper to increase or decrease the rebound speed. Perhaps increasing the pressure will make a nice whack at the end of the stroke. Why can't other dropper makers copy 9.8 and decouple the saddle angle adjustment from the saddle mounting?
I have used a Thomson dropper for a bunch of years and loved it...but for the new build I bought the OneUp 170. Really looking forward to trying it out soon!
