I've got 4 Dynamic saddles, 2 carbon rail and 2 steel. They are the best saddle I've used by far. The distant second best is a Specialized Romin Evo 155. Even with the cutout in the Romin Evo saddle I'd end up with pain for up to a day later after a race due to the pressure on my perineum, no issue on the Dynamic saddles. I've not tried any other SMP saddle, although I do have a Composit that I got cheap, but haven't tried it due to the narrowness but it could work.
I find around -2 to -3° (nose down) to be what works for me.

You may need to move the saddle forward. When switching saddles I compared the saddle shoulders which resulted in it being nose forward of my Romin saddle but in the end I needed to move it a bit further forward again so I wasn't bearing too much of my weight on the narrower part of the saddle (towards the front). For me I think this is due to needing to sit further back on the Dynamic saddle to support my sit bones compared with the wider Romin Evo 155.
