Thanks. I think I could stand to be much more comfortable, but then again I did a 200k ride on the weekend with 40k over very loose gravel and my arse was minimally sore. I see carbon posts at £35 at Condor, going up to whatever...hundreds.
I'm assuming a £40 alu post is better than a £40 carbon one, for example.
The clamp on the Deda is fine for me. I can see me umming and ahing about this and never doing anything. #notabuyer

I think Thomsons are hugely overrated. They do last, but massively overbuild for road riding (worth it for mtb though) and ludicrously heavy.
Carbon will be much more comfortable, but if you're already comfy enough, just buy any decent alu post with a good quality clamp (that's the most important part really).
