KOPS not withstanding, there still must be a relative position. At least from the pics, I see a proportionally "short" thigh. This brings the saddle forward, unless it's offset by saddle height. I would rather see an optimized leg extension and this also is dependent on power output. I am going to trust the fitter on this one.

ETA- You also must consider saddle construction and placement of the rails, that particular saddle might have the rail terminate on the rear section farther forward than typical for instance. Also consider the seat post set back. Many variables here.
