I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're saying. Did you mean "leave LH Eb depressed" instead of "RH Eb"?
So, are you saying that LH Eb alone has less of an effect on the intonation of F#, so it's permissible to leave it down, where as if the key were not split, the intonation would be too bad to use (for F#)? I'm not sure I agree with that...playing an F# and adding either Eb key causes my F# to go about 20-25 cents flat - so not usable in real life - , but yes, adding the whole RH3 key without covering the hole is about 50 cents flat.
