Default roll center theory question??

Hopefully you guys can follow me here...

As we know, you can raise or lower your roll center by moving the camber links up or down and/or raising or lowering the suspension mount blocks. For the sake of my hypothetical question I'll stick to front suspension and the inner camber link position.

Scenario A: I use 3 mm of spacers on the inner camber link and have 0mm of spacers on the suspension mounts for a roll center value of X.

Scenario B: I use 4 mm of spacers on the inner camber link and have .5mm of spacers on the suspension mounts this for a roll center value of X.

So even though the roll center values of scenarios A and b are the same (X), what would be the difference in handling? Would this change camber gain? What other effects would it have?
