It is further away, but I have not had a problem with that. I use a Super Peep and simply changed the size to suit.
It took me a few days to get use to the Switchback and when I went back to my Ovation I hated the string being so close to my face. Having the string off your face is actually really comfortable to use.

Both myself and my wife have short axle to axle bows. They seem to be a little more critical and require better habits to shoot well. I rather like their portability as well.

Had short axle to axle bows with short brace height recommended by Michael Peart. Don't think I'd shoot anything over 35" unless it was really special.

I think the only issue with short axel bows is the string angle at longer draw lengths. As I have arms like a gorilla and a draw length over 30 inches I find it near impossible to get the string in contact with my face - not everyone likes to do so, but I find it helps me, so I'm sticking with my Ultratech/XT2000 for now.
