What upgrades should I make?

Hi all, I recently replaced my old, boat-anchor Fuji Newest aluminum frame with a Scott CR1 Pro. I can really notice the improvement in ride quality and responsiveness. I've been looking into what upgrades I should make to improve the ride and shed off some more weight (yes, I've become somewhat of a "weight weenie" since I've gotten the frame).

Here are the complete specs:
Scott CR1 Pro '07 frame/fork
Mavic Ksyrium Elites + Michelin Pro 3 S.C.
Shimano 105, 5703 shifters (yes I'm using triple shifters w/ double cranks)
Thomson Elite X2 stem
FSA Wing Pro compact drops
Tektro calipers
Ritchey Comp 27.2 seatpost with a shim
Bontrager Paradigm RL saddle

Drivetrain:
D.A. 7900 cranks
D.A. 9000 BB
D.A. 7810 pedals
SRAM 1031 chain (soon to be KMC x10SL)
Shimano 105 11-28 cassette
Shimano 105 long-cage R.D., 105 F.D.


I was thinking of upgrading the seatpost/shim to a 31.6 carbon seatpost, maybe the Deda Black Stick ($100 to save 150 grams). Thanks in advance for any suggestions~
