You don't say whether you are over weight or not. I would imagine that, if you are on the heavy side, extra girth in your leg at that point might cause chafing against the saddle as you ride. Regardless of your weight, I find that, for me less seat is better. I ride a Fizzik Arione. It has a very long, narrow nose. The rear of the seat is wider so that when I need to change positions and get the weight off my legs for a few moments, I slide back a little and rest on the broad rear portion of that seat.
Otherwise, I ride a bit more forward with more weight supported by my legs. The narrowness of the seat at that position eliminates the possibility of chafing for me.
What is true for me is only speculation for you, but, it is a thought.
I am surprised that more folks don't try that Arione. I think it is a great seat.
