As a Mooney pilot lurking on big airplane lists, I can report that in my airplane, (and from reports in the Mooney community), moving the CG back gives a couple of knots cruise improvement. Since my E is only 2575 gross, when flying solo I can move the CG back quite a bit just by carrying a case of oil or some other misc. junk in the storage in the aft cabin. It does get squirrelly in pitch at full cruise, though, and flying at aft CG at cruise without an autopilot would be very tiring.
