Want the nose a touch lower? Back off the more accessible screw a bunch. Adjust the other screw say 1/8 of a turn. Tighten the first. Thompson is not the only 2 bolt post but their clamp is one of the best ever. They sell the clamp so a framebuilder with machining skills can make a post of any setback using their clamp. (I have two TiCycles 60mm setback posts.)

In my racing days I used to do this to get myself off saddle sores. Ride that way for a week or so until the sore was gone, then undo what I did. Seat would be exactly back where I had it before. Didn't have to measure anything, just remember the number of turns.

To me, this adjust-ability outweighs weight by a lot!
