Josh:
Only the lowest C on flute has that fingering, likewise sax, unlike clarinet, which has that fingering configuration (for different notes) in both resgisters.
For a flute E needs the pinky down on the Eb key for correct intonation. That may may seem trivial to a flutist but ist is a hassle for a sax or clarinet player changing to flute.
I've just remembered that D is also different on flute (& oboe) for 2nd octave, needing left pinky removed.
RonB: I agree. The similarities are trivial compared with the differences, especially fo somebody changing from a familiar fingering.
