Two Bolt Seatposts

Hiya Folks,
I've been tweaking the fitting of my 1961 Holdsworth Cyclone and while I've got the saddle fairly good it's always tricky to adjust the angle.
The seat tube is slightly oval so I'm using an 80's SR LaPrade 27.0mm which works fine but apparently the two bolt mechanism makes setting
the angle much easier (if you've got the right spanner).

Reading on here the original two bolt mechanism is the Campagnolo 1044, but there's also the Sugino Mighty.
There's also some Nitto seatposts but they seem to be only 27.2.

So can anybody suggest an adjustable seatpost (27mm) other than the above ?
Adjustable as in better than SR LaPrade, and bonus points for looking good.

If I was doing it again I would get the frameworks to put the seat tube back to 27.2, but hindsight is always perfect
