I have had an adjustable desk (sit or stand) for the past eight years. The biggest benefit in my mind is the variation you get from switching between sitting and standing. Burning calories was never a goal. I am particularly happy to be able to stand when I feel like it, because I had a pretty severe case of RSI in my arms, and thought that I would not be able to continue to work as a programmer. The biggest help came from using a break program, coupled with an ergonomic keyboard and mouse, but standing also helps.
