They do look slick...but if they don't work that well at holding the saddle then they don't work that well.

Yes, that right. It's these, and if they don't work properly immediately they never will.

I can live with some stuff, but not seat/seatpost movement. Drives me crazy and it's a pain to readjust if your picky about the saddle position.

That Thomson Elite looks sweet. Would have gone with that if not a believer in Specialized Zertz vibration dampening (whether hype or not).
