The change is that it would make the shank ratio more consistent 
across the keyboard.
Anything one can do to make measurements similar causes less 
variation between the registers.

I don't think sacrificing an even string height for prescribed 
cast-in front duplex lengths optimal
for regulation and questionable for the tonal benefit.
