The setback makes up for the setback that is standard / necessary in the standard "uni-bolt" design.
I can't see it when I'm riding and I doubt others can either. They are excellent seat posts.
Maybe it would help to think of it as being a member of an exclusive club whose members own premium and uniquely designed seatposts. I think they are cool, but better yet, they work and are high quality.
