Agree that weight balance effects things, but there is also weight transfer. In the end you will be noticing the vastly different handling characteristics long before traction differences - at least in my experience.
Agreed, for those of us that have track experience and care. My wife would plow into the first thing she came across with rwd but can manage with awd or fwd.
