Yeah, I've heard that one before...the only problem I have with it is that the decrease in aerodynamic loading would be very small, and that the tail, as a stabiliser, will have lift loads both at both positive and negative values through the flight, that is, it's constantly changing. Balance only affects pitch stability (sensitivity). Loading is simply an arithmetical value (weight divided by wing area). To make a measurable difference in this fellows landing characteristics he really needs to lighten the airframe. As an Extra, I bet the wing section is also designed to have a clean stall break, ie it will have a sharpish leading edge, which is also not helping in this situation. In the end the solution is just to learn to live with it, and practise enough landings to be able to be as close to the stall as the wheels touch as possible.
