From the video I see that the turbines are installed on rails for easy access, that can be done also with the tail installation i guess.
I could be wrong but I don't believe they do the turbines at the tail option any more. If they did the owner of this aircraft would have got it that way again I believe. I think the plane will come out lighter with the mid turbine option.
