It's a shame the natural laws of harmonics won't allow the low B to overblow to an E if you use the back 8ve as that would make that interval a doddle. You'll get top line F# as low B overblows a 12th using the back 8ve (like a clarinet).

I sometimes use low Bb overblown a 12th for top line F using the back 8ve key if I want that F at ff with a full sound if it's a long held note.
