Ease of use
It takes a little bit to get used to, because more weight is put on the front wheel. After riding in the new more forward position I was used to it.
Quality of Construction
No complaints. The main reason I used the carbon version as opposed to the aluminum version was mechanical stress points. Because I weigh around 225lbs the curved carbon seat post doesn't have a single mechanical failure points as opposed to the kink in the aluminum version.
Fit

Comfort

Adjustability
You can adjust height, angle and forward position of the saddle.
Durability
Seems fine, time will tell.
Value
90 bucks for a seat post, but the things we do to become more efficient and faster.
Appearance
Nice aero appearance, but that wasn't the main deciding factor.
Customer Service
Bought it from Tri-Zone. Extremely fast shipping and good communication via email.
Performance
Lowering the handlebar in conjunction with a more forward seating position seems to help, esp. with strong headwinds.
Strengths
For heavy riders like me the sculpted forward post should be better than the aluminum version, which has a sharp angle.
Weakness
More expensive than the aluminum version

Ease of installation
Very easy. I had to use a sleeve, because my original seat post was 31.6mm in diameter and the FFC is 27.2mm.
