The most significant disadvantage of full Boehms (and others with the articulated C#/G# key fitted) is playing altissimo Bb using the full fingering (Sp.Th. xxx C#/G#|xxx F/C) as the C#/G# pad is closed by the RH rings.

Though you can still get it by using the same fingering for the upper register C (Sp.Th.xxx|xxxF/C) but with the left thumb OFF the thumb tube but still holding the speaker key open.

This same altissimo Bb fingering will also work on standard (17/6) Boehms.
