Frame Size for forward saddle position...?

Good Morning from Oxford, CT.

Question, if one was going to adopt a more forward saddle position, (ala triathlon) by say 2 or more centimeters that would typically also entail purchasing a longer stem to keep the cockpit length comparable. This would also move the center of balance farther forward on the bike. Now, if one were then going to purchase a new frame and want the same pedalling position would it make sense to go from a 56cm to a 58cm so as to keep the same forward pedalling position without having to use the longer stem thus keeping the center of gravity back ???

Thanks !

J.
