Descending chromatically from G at the bottom of the staff, I use the 6th valve 5 times and the 5th valve 4 times. If you play Ab 1245 versus 2346, then you get 4 and 5 respectively.

I would not call that an "occasional" fix-it job. That's an awful lot of fix-its!

I would consider 6 valves a different system since you make fewer compromises when you set the slides. On a five valve system, I typically split the difference between 235 and 45. I'm lipping two notes a little. on a six valve system, that compromise does not have to be made.
