After tons of personal research, I'm going with The Fizik Cyrano.

It has all the right features mentioned already here.
It's (IMO) reasonably priced and I'd call it a great value for what it offers.
Price average: $115.-125. range shipped to your door.
It's not carbon, but if you have an Aluminum bike, that might be a good thing since
I've read several times that there can be corrosion between carbon and aluminum.

It's not super light, but not heavy either.
They average in the 220g range with
270mm posts coming in at 184ish grams
(according to WeightWeenies which is a good source).

From what I've read, it has excellent adjustability features.
Supposedly, it can be precisely dialed in and locked in place.

What's most impressive to me is that it comes from a company with a great reputation.

Besides all that...it fits my bike's look absolutely perfectly IMO.
I thought long and hard that I'd go with a carbon post for comfort/road damping qualities.
But I have carbon rails on my Fizik Aliante already. I can't imagine a carbon post being able to improve much upon that.
That's another HUGE plus for the Cyrano...it matches my carbon rails perfectly giving me peace of mind.

Good luck on your hunt.

(My next runner up was a Thomson Masterpiece.)
