The heel method has worked for me for ~20 years, so I'll stick with it.
See, you have me confused from the get go because I believe my saddle is higher than yours, not lower.

Well, see, not so fast. The 109% rules is done barefooted but it assumes standard toe clips and cleated cycling shoes. Which, used to be, all pretty similar in stack height over spindle. Now, of course, many clipless shoes have a little more stack to them, so yes, you would have to compensate. As I said, there used to be only one type of shoe, now there are dozens.
But, as another said, his method has worked for 20 years, great, mine has worked for 40 plus years,
