Deja vu all over again. The seat angle plus the seat post setback plus the amount of room you have on the seat rails *together* may affect your saddle location. Or maybe not. It's perfectly possible you could have the identical saddle position on both bikes. The only reason to worry about this is to be sure that the frame you're considering will let you put the seat where you want it to be given the saddle and the seatpost you have chosen. This typically becomes and issue only because of the relatively short seat rails of the B.17 (compared to many other saddles) and the popularity of the B.17 with owners of Rivendells, Ramblers, etc.
And if you can get your saddle to the identical position, you will feel exactly nothing as a result of the seat angle being 1/2 or 1 degree less, and there will be no "relaxed rear geometry effects" to feel.
