I currently have aluminum, carbon, and titanium seatposts in bikes, and have used a few over the years. My riding experience is that Carbon and Ti posts DO make a difference provided you give them enough extension. Like Drew said, a fistful of exposed post is not enough to let the material work. I doubt I'll ever ride aluminum again in a high mileage/long hour application because carbon and Ti have been very good to me.
