Front heavy = better performence for long flights?

Ok so I've been doing some thinking as I build my long duration qaudcopter. Would I draw less power in forward flight if the quad was slightly front heavy instead balanced at the CG? Yes in a hover the front motors would work harder then the rear, but when I start pitching forward the extra weight should help it lean and the rear motors wont have to work as hard right? Not sure if that is sound or not.
