Hello, little bit of advice needed!

I recently bought a carbon saddle, which has oval shaped carbon rails. Thing is though, I'm wondering should I get a seatpost to suit the oval rails: http://www.roseversand.com/article/rose-seat-post-race-attack-sl-160-carbon/aid:488814
or will the one I already have (suited to round rails) be grand for the job? It clamps vertically onto the rails, but the sides of the clamp aren't in contact with the rails if ye get me.

Any help appreciated!

I've used a saddle with oval rails without a special seat post where previously I had a saddle with round rails. San Marco Mantra and 3T Dorico. Maybe not all seatpost clamps are suited but in my case it was OK.
