Joel will be able to answer best his intent, he's one very, very, intelligent dude.

I am going to guess that the effect will be quicker response and a more dramatic response.
The trim tabs may also be in cleaner water being inboard, where the bow and midship will spread and knock down minor chop.
Also; remember the outer panels are the low speed panels. Locating inboard may help reduce parasitic drag at higher speeds, by raising more of the hull out of the water that much more, hes reducing wetted surface area.
