Please excuse my wording here. But yes, a rear motor can be better on medium or low bite, or even high bite. That's of course if you don't have any idea on how to setup a car. If you do, a mid motor car
in my opinion will always be a faster car into and through the corner. The mid motor car can almost get off the corner as hard, as long as you again have the setup correct.
Is the mid car more sensitive to setup? I'd say yes. Once you get it close, to me, the mid motor car seems to be more rewarding.
More of my opinion? SLRC chassis, cut the cross braces, get the car to 1550 and put in a hotter motor to over come the weight disadvantage. I have no problem sharing my medium grip setup with you, but on paper and real life, my car is far from a "box stock" B5m.
81 tooth spur should never be used on a mid motor car, only the 78 for mod, and 66/69/72 for 17.5.
Again, these are all my opinions.
