Saddle position

Question for any of you who have monkeyed around with the setup of your track bike enough to have an opinion:

My current setup is a bit too long of a reach for me. I was thiniking of getting a new, shorter stem (from 120 to 100), but then it struck me that the same shortening of reach could be effected by swapping out to a 0-setback seatpost. This of course would change the position of my legs over the cranks, but instinct tells me that might be an advantageous change in terms of power transfer.

Any insights into what the advantages and disadvantages might be of a more forward saddle position?
