Had to search back for that conversation, and it seems to seatposts have evolved since then, I’ve found this one on eBay which is a decent price,

The headclip will add some weight on. I’ve bought three in the past. One for myself , one which was a present and then a replacement for the present as I realised it wasn’t as light a mine.
They are a thing to marvel when attached to a ti saddle and removed from the frame , which is another point the bottoms are not flared. Never been a problem for me. -
The J&L ones are made in China/Taiwan, I’ve bought some of their stuff before and it’s pretty good. I’ve no complains about my J&L post. Bear in mind that the Brompton titanium seat posts, forks and rear triangles were made in Russia and Slovakia and they were good enough for Brompton.
I personally prefer the plain post with a Brompton pentaclip to the ones with the twin clamp bolts, as I’ve found that they tend to stick out a bit and tear the sides of the saddle when you sit on them - I had a Flite cut in 4 places after one ride on that type of clamp.
