more beam aft, or amidships?

I''ve noticed alot of modern boats carrying most of their beam aft. I know this helps push you along in a following sea, and helps bite in when then wind picks up, not to mention putting more interior space where it''s easily usable.

What are the advantages of carrying most of the beam towards midship though?

Thanks.
