I'm not a pro bike fitter but I had mine fitted. Saddle set back, height and tilt (crank length and cleat position as well) depend on your legs measurement. Saddle set back should not be used to stretch the fit or else it would skew the knee over pedal measurement. Instead, use stem angle and length (spacers, handlebar reach and drop as well) to stretch the fit. This is a function of your flexibility.
In my case, I was fitted with less drop (saddle to handlebar) when I started riding. As I improved my flexibility, my drop value increased but my saddle adjustment was unchanged.
Looking at your bike on your webpage, you have the saddle all the way forward with zero setback and you are thinking of having a setback? I'm guessing this is a aesthetic purpose?

I'm also ~6' with a 32" inseam. trying to figure if i should attempt a setback seatpost or not to "stretch out" the fit a bit.
Any thoughts?
