help me pick a new seatpost
so I've narrowed it down to 3 seatpost.
what do you guys think?
The KCNC will probably be cut down, that'll shave off a few grams.

What is most important to you? i.e. what I find appealing may be fugly to you. Sounds like you may be a weenie (weight, that is). I vote KCNC .. just because you say it can "shave off a few grams."

Not included in your choice but you might want to try looking into the Thompson Masterpiece.

oops, I didn't even realize the offset was 15mm. hmmm....that might change things a bit.
I thought about Thomson, but everyone and their mother has a Thomson. Don't get me wrong the workmenship is top notch, but I wanted something a little different.
Ok, so next step is to really figure out if I want the offset or not, then the choice will be easy. KCNC or AlphaQ.
Thanks
edit: to be honest, I'm still playing with the seat postition. Have not dialed it in yet.

I have a pretty sweet Giant carbon post that just came with a frame I bought on ebay. Problem is it's aero and has to be further out of the seat tube than I can go. PM me with how much post you need from the seat tube to the rails and I'll let you know if it will fit.
