The biggest advantage of the 50:50 weight distribution is inherently neutral handling. Of course, there are plenty of other factors to consider but this is the best starting point. A rear weight bias help with straight line acceleration (if car is RWD) and straight line braking at the cost a tendency to oversteer. Front weight bias will show a tendency to understeer. 50:50 weight distribution was also pursued by Alfa Romeo before it became part of Fiat.
