We haven't mentioned timing, but that's the reason I decouple design and code reviews.
Design reviews can be done fairly early in the process before the code is complete. If design changes are needed, there is still plenty of time for them.
Code reviews can't really be done until most of the code is written, but (as you point out) the kinds of problems they find are much easier to fix, so require less time.
