I disagree about thomson being "the best made, most reliable seatpost on the planet." They are great, but not the best for all applications.
I'd always go with cold-forged than cnd'ed any day. And Thomsons dont work well with brooks or other leather saddles with short rails, unless you get the gross setback version. but on the cnd'd front, paul comp has a new seatpost with massive setback.
