> I believe the reason for MCAS was because the had to lower and move the engines forward. So at lower power, the forward engines make the plane nose-heavy. When the engines are near full power, the lower engines push the nose up. Compounding the difference in handling compared to the older models.

Wrong. If the power of the engines mattered, it'd have been an input to MCAS. Moving the engines forward changed how the nacelles created lift at high angles of attack, causing a pitch up effect from the nacelles, reducing (but not eliminating) the stick forces required to maintain the high angle of attack.
