Look also at the rear of the saddle. I use the entire saddle. I push back for power climbing seated in bigger gears. I come far forward as you do going hard, both on the flat and sometimes uphill. For me, the entire saddle matters. I need seats that are not too wide in back so I can sit pushed far back and not cut off circulation in my legs. If I can do that, I still have a lot of nose up forward for riding "on the rivet". (One of the reasons I will probably never own a traditional leather saddle is because literally riding on rivets isn't a whole lotta fun.)

As posters have said above, I ride all wrong. So do most racers. We've been riding wrong all of the past century. Sooner or later the pro peloton will get word that they need to come to Bike Forums and get it right. When that happens we will see the next huge increase in speed.
