When I srudied with Michael Moore, he told me that there are only about half a dozen instances of a pedal C# in the orchestral repertoire. Why spend the extra money on so few notes? Either lip it or play it on a BBb. Now that I think of it, I don't recall that he even owns a CC with 5 valves. I never saw one anyway. I think he leaves some of his horns stowed at his various gigs so he can ride his motorcycle around.
Anyway, I play a 4 valve Cerveny 601 and have never had a problem with intonation (the first valve slide is very handy). I personally think that a 4 valve horn plays a little better.
