Seat posts: Shimano Dura Ace SP-7400 vs. Cinelli Via Folli

I love my Shimano Dura Ace SP-7400 seat post but I need something longer. How does the Cinelli Via Folli compare?

Here's a link to the Cinelli post: https://www.modernbike.com/product-2126299365

Is the name "Via Folli" or "Vai Folli"? I've seen it both ways.

I should add the you will have more set back if that matters. Not sure what you are asking but the single bolt clamp works very well, I prefer them compared to fiddly two bolt clamps. The DA's little adjusting screw is nice but I don't really miss it on the Cinelli.

Thanks for the info. The small additional setback is not a problem. This Cinelli seat post will beautifully match my Cinelli 1A stem.
