Your plan to go out "all day Thursday", flies in the face of 'best practice'. The average person would almost certainly be looking at a very painful experience even with the most perfect fit imaginable. And 15* nose down also gores another sacred cow in the fitment ideology. Are you sure that you are more comfortable that way? But what I really wanted to say is, in general you seem to worry about a too narrow saddle. Where is your saddle positioned on the rails? It should not be further back than centered over the rails unless you really know that you are an exception. Like you are 6'2" or something. In fact, an average 5'10" male 'might' do well to have some saddles as far forward on the rails as they will go. Try it before you knock it.
