I spend about 1.5 hours daily on a bike communting and wonder whether
getting a shock absorbing seat stem is helpful.
Comments please.

I asked about this a month or so ago - a google should bring the thread up
easily. Everyone advised getting an expensive one (well, £50ish one
anyway) but the effect seems to be very subtle. People could sort-of
notice the difference but weren't sure. Unfortunately my seat tube is too
narrow for them so I never will find out if they're any good :-(

It most certainly will. Get a proper one like USE or Cane Creek
Thudbuster and make sure you get the proper elastomers for it - that is,
the elastomers that match your weight. You will definitely notice the
difference and have a smoother ride.
