6wd tank with 2 omnis?

Does anyone have experience with 6wd tank style drive bases, using 2 omnis on the front (and 4 tractions on the other)? I'm thinking this could be a good configuration for defense heavy games. The benefit would be almost all of the traction of a conventiinal 6wd (especially in fwd), but with faster turning and no rocking from a drop center. The downside is unsymmetrical handling going forwards and reverse, and reduced traction when in reverse.

I'm tempted to build a test base in the pre-season, but would love to hear other's experience first.
