FWIW that basically is a non-carbon seatpost. It's AL wrapped in carbon. I wouldn't call it cosmetic but it's not structural.

WTT: Bontrager Race X Lite ACC Seatpost 27.2mm
I have a Race X LIte Acc Seatpost that came on the 2006 Salsa Ala Carte I recently acquired as a winter commuter. I'm a big guy and I'm nervous running such a fancy seatpost.
It's in pretty good shape, seen some use for sure, and it's been trimmed down to around 8.5" (who the hell is worried about extra carbon seatpost???? whatevs). I'd like to trade it for a comparable non-carbon 27.2mm seapost, preferably setback. Long shot, I know, but weirder things have happened.
Will also consider cash offers
