You may get a little smoother (less gritty-feeling) action at the brake lever because the cable is making one less turn at the seat lug, but I'm not sure it's worth the bother. On my mixte and step-thru I adjust the spring tension at the rear brake to get a strong snap-back at the lever and it seems to overcome any stiction in the housing well enough*
*YRMV, it bothers some folks more than others. I tend to use the rear as a "well it's there, I guess I'll pull that lever, too" option and think about the front brake as the one actually stopping the bike. The rear feeling a little different is something I mostly ignore.
