Even if you don't use KOPS, if you tilt the seat tube forward, to keep your butt/knee/BB relationship the way your body likes it, you'll have to move the seat back on the rails. The problem will come in if your saddle is already back pretty far on the more laid-back frame - there is such a thing as not being able to get enough setback.
