I think torque would be magnified, the further you move a rest from the pivot point of the grip, whether it be to the front or the rear. If you can mount the rest in front, and keep it as close to the pivot point as you can when mounting in the rear, then I see no significant disadvantage. The whisker biscuit doesn' t work like other rests anyway. It relies on pressure from all sides of the arrow to keep it centered. It may help arrow flight to keep the arrow in this rest for a longer time.
