Strengths:    Very light. Comfy--noticeably more comfortable than the alloy post that came stock with my bike. Does not slip. Easy to assemble (unless you're ham-fisted).

Weaknesses:    Price

Bottom Line:   
This thing rocks.
It's comfortable.
It's almost as light as the german posts I don't have access to (and absolutely can't afford).
Carbon assembly everything and use a torque wrench and it won't slip. I've tried to get it to budge, but can't. I ride technical trail, and honk like crazy on the climbs, and still, it won't slip.
Hasn't broken yet.

If you've got the moneyz for it, I highly recommend this post. I wouldn't let the single bolt scare you. It works better than any other single bolt (carbon) post I've used, but is lighter.

Strengths:    Lightweight and looks nice.

Weaknesses:    SLIPS!!! The single bolt design does not hold the mountain bike seat. I've tried everything including over-torquing it and gluing it with silicone. Tried the stuff for carbon fiber parts. Keeps tipping backward when I hit the bumps.

Bottom Line:   
Wouldn't recommend for mountain biking. Not worth getting a nice seatpost if you can't count on it to stay in position. It's tipped backward on me several times now, and I've found no solution. Don't purchase unless you have the time and inclination to be stopping at the side of the trail and tilting it back forward everytime you hit a bump.
