The tires could drop a bit too, and still be reliable. None of that's necessary at all, but just places to look if you want to drop it to a straight 20 lb ride. Me, I wouldn't do a carbon post. Dave's bike ride very nice, exactly how you told him you wanted it to.

It's a really nice looking frame, and once all your personal touches are added it I'd love to see a big glossy photo thread about it (it deserves it).
