I know what you're saying phoneman, but I wouldn't change to FWD.
Turn the instrument information display to the AWD torque split screen and you'll see it's working all the time on sealed roads when you're accelerating. On wet sealed roads- eg. when you're turning across traffic at an intersection- it could be a life saver. I hate FWD's in the wet... you don't need a very powerful one to get wheel-spin when turning. With the AWD it just grips and turns.
You might find a lot of torque steer too. People on the USA Escape forum complain about it with the FWD models (they get the FWD with the 2.0l petrol EcoBoost.)
