Hmm!
It's true the plane is more sensitive when the CG is further back, but, on the other hand, it doesn't need to be 'flown in' like a nose heavy one when landing. Throttle management is more difficult with a nose heavy plane.
Landing with the weight further back means things happen slower, which can't be bad.
