I prefer the use of the thumb for the fifth valve as many probably do. I would doubt that you would use the sixth valve even half as much as the fifth, unless you feel the need to add a new set of fingerings to your playing. I feel the less valves you have to use (but playing in tune), the better your sound will be. So this horn layout makes sense to me: A horn with five valves with the option of taking your hand off the slides to access the sixth valve.
