I did spot a couple differences and I can't find anything to help me figure out if they are good changes or bad. I have 3 questions I'm hoping you all can answer.

3. I weigh about 242lbs and I noticed that the weight limit for the carbon bike is 300lbs but the limit for the seat post is 240lbs. Have any of you 240+ riders had any problems with the Specialized CG-R, FACT carbon seatpost?
It is hard to imagine that with the built in tolerance they have for any recommended weight, you would not be fine with the CG-R seatpost, but if you are concerned and plan to lose weight, just start off with a different seatpost till you are a bit lighter.
