Good lord, read better and get off my jock.
I havent made any blanket statements about them being better. Ive done the exact opposite twice now and specified how i define 'better'. I have also stated that if 'better' means twitchier to a person, then rear loading may be best.
Its my observation that stable steering is more often preferred and front loads allow for this.
Seriously, 3rd time i have now defined 'better'.
