Ok here we go:

1) We can only legally take off with the trim between 6 and 8 units.
2) With the trim at barely 6 up, our cg is at the aft limit takeoff.
3) An aft cg is the most efficient loading for the airplane, reducing tail down force during the whole flight.
4) Airplane burns less fuel than cg at full forward limit.

I cant help you any further than this.
