Where I was told the opposite, towards the back makes the car more "lively" on the rear end due to a "pendulum effect" with the weight up the back.
And more weight up front gives more turn in, but pushes out of the turn due to trying to push the weight around the turn.

I think I'll go for the battery up forward, and then we can compare results, won't have the car finished for this weekend though.
