Upon reflection I'd say that the carbon post feels 'less dull' or 'not as thuddy' than other posts I've had. Of course I've had lots of Al. posts too. I thought the Ti post muted some road buzz as you'd expect, but it could be a bit flexy. The carbon post probably matches the Ti post in good feelings, sharpens up the handling a bit, and it is lighter and looks nice, too.
