Default RE: balancing

Please excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't the balance point be the same either way?
That is correct. It is sometimes easier to get the plane in a balanced position on the CG machine (or whatever is used) if there is more of the fuse hanging below the wing than above it. Hence the reason for inverting a low wing plane. The CG will not change, it is the same either way.
