Variation of Take Off Stabiliser with weight and flap setting

Hi,

On the a/c types I fly - E170/E190 - we get a MACTOW on the loadsheet.

We then have to consult a table to convert this to a trim setting.

On the E170 we have to consider the flap settting.

On the E190 we have to consider flap setting and take off weight.

My question is - Why does the trim setting for a particular MACTOW vary with flap and take off settings?

On other aircraft I have flown, including the E145 with a stabilize, there has not been that variation.
