Elite, but I really have no idea if it will work for you. What are you trying to accomplish with a seatpost change?

I have been using an FSA on my Epic for about two years. Has worked well for me and is very nice looking.

Neither. Buy a cheapo alu seatpost off ebay and spend the difference on something fun, like meth or women. It doesn't make a difference.

You didn't state if you wanted setback or not. They both have great two-bolt heads and are roughly the same weight. I would step up the K-Force model or try to get a cheap used Thomson.
