The latter fluted one looks nice, Malaysia is a fair trip tho.  I used a shim bitd and our shop sold them for the original burners. Honestly I prefer the correct dia post for the frame. The shims would fit top of seat tube down just past the welds on the rear triangle. A seat post of correct dia will fit past the shim and offer more strength. Up to you end of day.
