In that position when I am on the tops the front hub is starting to show behind the bars. In the drops it is perfectly obscured. I have been thinking about moving the seat a bit forward to help my spinning.
The location of the saddle should be not be moved forward to shorten the reach, assuming that the seat location is already correct for your build. The reach chould be shortened by using a shorter stem and/or using a compact handlebar. You might just consider a compact handlebar to bring the reach to the hoods and the drops further back.
