F- Type - AWD v 2WD. Beneficial or not?

Landrover Defenders (similar products are also available from other suppliers...) are also good in adverse weather.

I guess until we actually have one side by side, Car's review pretty much sums it up:
For any techies:
Verdict
On this circuit, in this weather, I’d have a V8 R with all-wheel drive over V6 awd or V8 rear-drive alternatives. And if you don’t like the feeling of a rear-drive car squirming about beneath you on the road, it’s the perfect choice for you too; it’s a great system.
For the rest of us who think that’s all part of the fun and know the stability control sorts it all out anyway, the V8 R with just the two driven wheels remains the F-type of choice.

I was under the impression that since the system defaulted to 100% rear traction, that torque would be diverted to the front as soon as the rear wheels start to lose traction.
I would think that the opposite statement is more correct: "As the vehicle transitions from a high to low grip surface, torque distribution increases to the front wheels.."
