The bars on this bike are even with to slightly above the saddle, so I'm not in an extreme racing position by any means

It really sounds like it just might be too short....
The non-"S" Brooks saddles have much longer rails underneath. This enables you to move the saddle forward/backward much more than with the S models. I foun dI was way more comfortable when I got a non-S Broks and shoved my saddle back an additional 1 1/2" from what it was with the S model. With tthe saddle shoved back my center of gravity shifted back more and I felt more comfy and got better leg pedaling leverage too. The change also stopped that feeling that I was sliding forward too often. Just a few thoughts from one person's experience.
