I used a suspension seatpost for a while. They absolutely do not mimic a FS mountain bike, but they do help. If you cannot afford a FS bike, it will help you, but it really depends on where and what type of riding you will be doing. If you live somewhere where there are a lot of rocks, rough areas, get a FS. If not, you may be able to make do with a seatpost.
