Yes I run a stubby across the back of mine, it does look very tidy and works well. It means you can run a standard chassis without all the dremelling needed for saddles.
I've kept the same 65/35 weight distribution as used with other layouts, but it centralises the weight and lowers the CoG, so in theory you get more grip, more responsiveness and less grip-roll. And it gives you the option to run the car a lot lighter with the same WD. I haven't actually tried this yet (still at about 1720g overall as I have a lot of ballast), but I think it will be a good idea indoors where there are no bumps.
Had my best result of the winter on Sunday using this layout at Kiddi
