Weight distribution is better on such bikes.

Personally I disagree. My wife had the F800 and never liked the handling particularly off road. I always put it down to the 21” front wheel but when I tried it I felt the same.
She now has a 1200gs and had no problems off road in Morocco - easy trails. For some reason I think having the fuel tank partly behind you does not balance the bike well. I think this is why KTM have gone the way they have with the fuel tank on the 790.
Obviously I’m no engineer so it’s just a hunch  
Unfortunately I suspect the mini AT will be heavy
