I usually see dropdowns with a fade in and offset animation, so I thought I'd try animating it on the component level and see what happens.
This is the result. (Slowed down to emphasize the animations)
Which one do you prefer?
Do you think small interactions like this are worth spending time on?

It's definitely worth the time; these micro-animations are part of the overall product experience.
I liked the left option better because it seamlessly transitions into the component, while the right option, when offset, seems to lift the list off the header.
