You nailed it. The one thing to point out is that while total weight transfer will stay the same, you can alter the distribution of that weight transfer (which it appears you understand, just clarifying for everyone).

Big front sways got popular for Subarus because of dynamic camber and geometry considerations...plus they "felt" good in terms of response and turn-in. Important things on mac-strut car. Many have moved on to a more balanced set-up though and that's the approach I recommend.
