I just got a 3t Palladio seatpost to stop the Doric wearing through all my jeans/lycra.
When it arrived I realised I bought the aluminium version by accident, the Pro one, rather than the LTD one. Then I looked up the price of the LTD and now I don't miss it so much (rrp £200, cheapest online £150). Although may try and get one at trade through work.
I've had to shove the thing in my frame, it must be slightly oversized as it fitted but didn't really want to move. Probably scratched to shit now, but I can't be arsed pulling it back out to see.
Not the quickest thing to adjust and I've never had to read an instruction sheet for a seatpost before, but at least I know my saddle will never rotate in the clamp.
Now I have a spare Doric LTD that's scratched from my allen key and with a good amount of paint missing from my seatpost collar so it's not really worth selling. And if I get the LTD Palladio then I'll have another scratched to shit seatpost hanging around.
