depends ...
frontline kites have a flat profile.
this results mostly in a bigger depower range,
more top end, less low end, less lift and less steering forces.

Front line kites fly faster and usually turn faster too... they generate a sharp power spike when flying across the window as opposed to a more steady pull....
That sharp power spike yanks ya out of the water bigtime.....
