If your inseam is long enough, there are zero cons to forwards.

Same here. My only issue is on long rides. After a couple hours in I would love to have the mid pegs just to be able to move to a different spot for a bit. Or to stand up some and take the pressure off my *** and tailbone. But I sure do love my forwards...as stated in this thread already, I look like a monkey f*cking a football with mids.
