No experience switching just material of the seatpost, but I notice the flex every time I ride my commuter vs any other bike. Thomson Elite 410mm in a comical 26.8mm at full extension is very comfortable.

If you can use a rigid post for the application, maybe a shim and slimmer post could provide relief.
