So, some more experimentation is going to be necessary.
I think it's Cobb that also recommends rotating the saddle 5 degrees or so to the right to relieve pain, take the 'nose' off the saddle. That's how I set up my bikes, I was pleasantly surprised to fitter recomended it as a fit technique. Tilted down in the front - I don't know about that, I'd be sliding forward with anything more than the slightest tilt.
