It is much less perceptible in the front. All wing mounted engine aircraft will 'fishtail' in turbulence compared to those with aft mounted engines because of thrust vectors. Pangolin was a bit hyperbolic in his statement but the high wing loading of the 170 and even more so the 190 does contribute to a less compliant ride. The 321 has the same issue.
