I'll never get the fascination with level saddles. Mine have been nose down a touch or more on nearly all my bikes over the years. I adjust my tilt until the seat feels dialed in. The relationship to level is whatever it is. I adjust the seat until I can ride continuously in the drops. On those days with tough headwinds and miles to go, I regret this not at all! And the rest of the time, the bike works just fine.

Edit: another who likes the nose of the seat set a few mm to the left.
