Strengths: Ease of adjustment and repeatability of adjustment. No creaking and holds the rails well. Aluminum and not carbon. The clamp is the best in the business.Weaknesses: Kink on the SB version not too pretty, but it's functionality and the superiority of the clamp overcome this single shortcoming.Bottom Line: I have tried many others and I always come back to old faithful. Thomson is the best.
Favorite Ride: Sunny and warm ones

Strengths: EASY TO ADJUST--why can't other seat makers make a seatpost that is easy to adjust??
Beautiful looking. (I've got the black version)Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: I LOVE this seatpost. I tried to name my firstborn Thomson, but my wife nixed it.
I've just re-learned how much I love it because I upgraded my bike, and the Thomson setback seatpost on my old bike doesn't fit the new bike. It's been very frustrating to dial in the seat on the new post.
This post is beautiful to look at, easy to install, easy to adjust, and STRONG.
Great visual indicators make it easy to dial in the post to precise angles, and dual bolts make the north/south adjustment oh so easy.
Why are you still reading this post? You should be buying this seatpost.

Strengths: Strong
Adjustment mech.
ReversibleWeaknesses: MSRPBottom Line: Had this on my Wilier Sestriere to hold a Selle Italia Prolink saddle. Very well mad product. Rails never slip, holds the saddle tilt (confirmed with a level). The best adjustment mechanism that I've ever tried. And for the record, I'm about 200#. The somewhat short setback might be a problem for some, but it fits me just fine

Priced less then most carbon post that ate less quality.
Set back can be reversed for a forward position for a road bike that has been set up for TT

Strengths: Perfect machining, just works as intended. Set it and forget it.Weaknesses: Not the lightest post, no bling like carbon.Bottom Line: After a recent failure of the FSA seatpost that came with my Cervelo R3, I replaced the hot supermodel post(FSA SLK) with the girl next door (Thomson Setback). Dependable and she loves me.
As others havce written, it is light, strong, easy to adjust, doesn't slip and cradles the rails. Weight is acceptable for dependability.
