With the two-bolt post, if you want to tilt it back, loosen the front bolt a quarter turn, tighten the rear bold a quarter turn, everything else stays where it was.
Yep, I've got a 2 bolt seatpost, and I've been doing exactly what you said (after I got the front/back positioning where I was comfortable).
