I don't know where you heard that from tommi, but it's simply nonsense.
Either setup can be made to behave exactly the same in all respects.
But anyway, it's almost impossible to figure out all those angles in your head, and how they behave, during weight transfer for example, makes it even more complicated (there's too many variables involved).
These days you really need a computer program to do that properly - or feed the angles & information into a good simulator like Richard Burns Rally
Car manufacturers used to solve these issues just by trial and error up until around 1980, because it's a vey complex maths problem...
