I owned a Buffet Tosca that had a perfectly tuned upper register - right up to thumb C it was bang on 440. In the lower register both E and Fs were quite ridiculously flat. When you first played this instrument you noticed the even tuning up high, and as those lower notes are USUALLY a BIT FLAT you kind of forgave them. Actually using this instrument in a group was another thing altogether- thumb F in particular was extremely problematic in a "real life" situation.
Having the top notes "a bit sharp" and the lower ones "a bit flat" really is quite manageable, and certainly preferable to the tuning I described above!
btw the key alteration I suggest above was first suggested to me by Rosario Mazzeo, and I recall he had it on his personal customised instrument.
