Dont think so. Going to End would move the pp #3 down into the knuckle, add an Arc to the Delivery Path between Top and End, necessitate some Lag or Float Loading. Although these variations are more 12-2 than 12-1 you can still be Hitting and do those things. There is some mid ground in the Hit/Swing spectrum. Although 12-1 kept things quite distinct from 12-2.
