Ummm, no.

The WRX (manual tranny) has a viscous center differential. That means that 
the power distribution is solely dependent on the traction at each end. If 
there is no wheel slippage, then the power distribution is even.

You are correct that the handling would 'more' FWD compatible, but not for 
forward-power-bias reasons. It's for even power distribution combined with 
front-WEIGHT-bias reasons.
