Velonews did a test in 2012 that was useful:

The FSA one is also hard to find- many (some at least) broke.

Thank you for this. I have found I really like the two bolt system that is on my Topstone and would like to maintain that and thought a carbon post would be a good addition.
Much appreciated,
Thank you all for the input, Frank.
