Recently I saw a Hamburg B (1970s) on which the keys had been front weighted and back weighted on the last few notes before the bass/tenor break.  Say notes 16 or 17-20.  It looks as if they were trying to increase the inertia on the last few keys before the break.  Any ideas about why they would do this?
