You're entirely correctt, oldspark - tilt makes LOTS of difference in how a saddle sits. With my Brooks saddles (and, curiously, ONLY with the Brooks) a very slight "nose-up" position seems most comfortable. Every other saddle I've tried was best completely level. Also, the mounting point - front to rear - even though only an inch or two, seems to make a difference. Would that someone made a "power saddle," much like the "power seat" in an auto, that could be easily modified "on-the-fly" for tilt, fore-aft placement, and height. Such a seat could be programmed to continuously modify its position on the bike for an ever-changing seating position! Of course, the thing with its motors, etc. would weigh more than the bike itself! Ah well...
