I'm a huge devotee of having a double whole step fifth valve which is what I use on my PT-15 B&S F. With my horn pedal F locks right in perfectly in tune 12345 A=440. I have all the slides pushed all the way in save for the main slide which is pulled maybe 1/2".

I have had people try to tell me that the fingerings lay better under their fingers and 'make more sense' with the single whole step fifth valve but it sure doesn't seem that way to my feeble brain and the intonation never seems to line up quite as well either. I'll just add this discussion to my list of reasons to stick with what I've got. :)

FWIW,
joseph
