What your buddy is saying is that shooting such a release might allow you to increase the draw length of the bow so that you maintain your same reference points of hand to face. Of course if you touch your nose to the string and/or a kisser button this will change; probably not for the better.

Draw length is a term that is used in err too often. People might say "I have a 28" draw". This is not true. Nobody has a draw length. What they do have is physical traits that require them to shoot a BOW with a certain draw length to get the best accuracy.

There are several methods of measuring for what we refer to as "proper draw length". None of them are totally accurate for every individual. What any of the methods used is give you all general idea of what draw length MAY shoot the best for you. That's why it's advisable (in my estimation) to get measured and then buy a bow that can be adjusted at least 1" up and down from siad measurement. I would also advise any prospective buyer to have the bow of their choice physically measured to ensure that it is set for the draw length stated as many bows draw longer than marked.

Getting back to your situation, if you change releases and can get away with increasing the draw length accordingly your bow speed will go up approximately 10-12 fps. That's the only advantage to doing so. And really, 10 fps isll make about 1 1/2" difference in point of impact at 35 yards.
