That said, I might try the more forward tees next time around to see if I can make a significant difference.

Interesting.
This probably comes down to: what parts of your game are strongest/weakest, and what do you rely on for scoring.
I play with a guy who can't hit it worth ####, but he gets up and down from anywhere. For him, the tees aren't a huge factor (unless we move back to a point where he simply can't get near the green).
The strength of my game is my iron play. If I can get an 8 iron or less in my hand, I have a good chance at par. If I am hitting a wood and relying on my short game, I'm making bogey. So for me, yardage is huge.
