No, the dropped nose has little effect (imo) as you tend to sit much further back on an SMP.
The key is in the two narrow supporting channels and the curve/drop near the back - shaped to fit your ischiopubic ramus which is what you actually sit on when in anything aproaching a vaguely performance orientated fit, rather than the iscial tuberosities / sit bones that everyone thinks they sit on (unless you ride a sit up and beg bike)
