The fore/aft position of your saddle is a function of your knee position relative to your pedals. If reach is too long or short, then that's better addressed by changing the position of your handlebars, either by changing out the stem, removing or adding spacers and/or changing the type or position of your bars. A trained and experiened fitter will hopefully be able to evaluate you.

Remind me: Is this a new bike that you're riding this spring? If it's an older bike, is there anything you changed relatively recently with the set up on the bike?
I bought a new bike in January. Had a bike fit done at time of purchase. The very first time I took it out on the road, the neck issue started. I took it back to the shop and they looked at it and said "oooooops! The handle bars aren't centered, no wonder your neck hurts". Obviously at that point my blood pressure started to rise. They "fixed" the handlebar issue and sent me on my way. Second time out, same neck issue arose, so back to the LBS and had the handlebars changed out. Since then every time I ride the new bike, the neck issue flairs up. The whole issue with the neck has not gone away since it started back in Feb. The reason why I bought the new bike was I have entered the Valley grand Fondo, soooo I treated myself to a full carbon bike. Huge upgrade from my Specialized dolce, which does not give me neck issues.
If another bike fit (at a different shop) does not solve the problem, sadly I'm starting to think i might end up having to sell the new carbon bike and no doubt loose $$
Sigh...and it's my dream bike
