There is a piece I've played on EE flat for years with a fast semiquaver passage in the stave that's quite difficult. I was dismayed to find it even harder on my new CC, until I 'discovered' a fingering pattern which allowed me to play it 5/1, 5, 5/1, 5, 5/1, 5 etc. (cries of "wow, look at this", to anyone listening).

From that moment I was glad to have a 5th valve to allow me some alternative fingerings. Cheating, or creative problem solving...you be the judge.
