I get the same fit with the VO as I do with another seatpost with a true 20mm setback, so there it is.
I would say to keep working on the tilt, but another possibility is your stem (reach). Sometimes if you're reach to the bars is just a tiny bit short it can make you slide forward. Counterintuitive for sure, but just for giggles, you might wanna try a longer stem by about 1cm. Sometimes having a longer reach will help flatten your back and stop you from sliding forward. A longer reach will also reduce the need to tilt the saddle so far up as well.

I can see how a little longer reach might help. My thinking is to get the saddle setback correct first. Right now I'm using a 0 setback post. a 20-25mm setback post will give me a couple of extra cm reach right there. Then I'll probably play with the tilt. Additionally, It occurs to me that, although SA claims no break-in period is required, these saddles probably do fit a bit differently once you've softened up that leather a bit. Time will tell.
