Scanning your initial post, I read you stating that you had "
heard some conflicting reports from people who had their willy go numb when riding on a Brooks."
I didn't get the impression there that you were one of the people who had actually, personally, experienced this - or I wouldn't have suggested that both SA and Brooks would be worth considering (I like both, and don't experience any ill effects from the Brooks, at least not from the one or two of their many models that do suit me).
As I said, range of fore/aft adjustability is a significant advantage to the SA saddles (a bit less so with the more recent version where they changed the rail design).
I've swapped one onto a particular bike in the past because the range of adjustability allowed me to use the post I wanted, though the needed adjustment was in the opposite direction from what you describe (I couldn't get the previously-fitted Brooks Pro far enough back without swapping the post, which was a Thomson zero setback that I thought suited the build and which happened to be the only post I have in the not-so-common 28.6mm size).
Try the d#*%ed saddle. You just might like it, and the atypically adjustable rail design would indeed allow you to use those setback posts.
The 'fit' that requires a saddle so far forward seems unusual to me, but you describe a problem for which a possible solution is ready at hand.
