Eric, I had a similar set-back problem with my Platypus. Since I prefer Selle Anatomica saddles, I ordered a new one for Platy in the pretty light tan color only to discover that the new ones with aluminum rails have a shorter rail length than the steel rails. I wanted to use my Nitto S-83 seatpost and couldn't get the set-back I needed so after a chat with Grant regarding various seat post and saddle combinations, I returned it to SA for the original style (no badge). A proper set-back was accomplished.
Although my solution was the SA saddle, how your bike looks and feels to *you* is critical! I hope you find a pleasing solution.
