The issue with stuff like that is it the models wont line up properly. Im not really sure how to explain it but when you put say 20 models down they will "stick" better in certain spots than others.
The rubber is impregnated with magnetic (rare earth) metals. It is done randomly and thus polarity shifts and changes throughout the rubber. By putting magnetic rubber into both the tray and the model, you encounter areas where the poles are attractive and other areas where they repel. As xevv said, your models will shift on the tray and be difficult or impossible to rank up nicely. The solution is to only have one thing (the tray or the figures) actually contain the magnetic material.
