I know it's a subjective question, but...
Is there actually a comfort advantage to carbon seatposts?
A 3T Doric Pro can be had from CRC for £20. A carbon version is £70+.
It will be going in an aluminium frame and as it's my first time with alu I'd like to offset any potential harshness, but I'm not bothered about weight and £50 is a big difference.
It needs to be a 27.2mm post which I understand are inherently more flexible (and therefore comfier) than wider posts.
