I follow the Moonsaddle instructions. I have a newer seat with the 20* angle built into the rails. I mount the seat with the rail parallel to the ground as instructed (actually with the front about 5* up). It is perfectly comfortable after my a** got used to it. I can ride uphill, downhill, and on the flat with equal comfort. The one thing that I can't do (and don't want to) is ride with both hands off the handlebars. I don't view that as a significant defect. An additional benefit is that you can ride it in any pair of shorts or pants you please. No pad is required.
Yeah, the any pants part is great which is why I love having it on my Big Dummy which is my Kailua Town errands and beach bike. I've got one of the new Moonsaddles and it is tilted a bit up just like yours. I just can't get used to it on my road bikes for longer rides (10+ miles) but maybe I'll work into it. I'm trying one of the Allay Topeak saddles today and I'll see how that goes ...
