I feel like I'm almost flogging a dead horse here, but again I have to disagree! I have no problem doing these scales in 3rds using the side keys, and the sliver keys. My conclusions from this entire discussion have lead me to believe that it depends largely on how you were taught. Some people have been taught to use the "flip" primarily, and the side key only for trills. Alphie and David were taught to use the side key on ascending chromatic and "flip" on the descending. I was actually taught NEVER to flip. (Shock, horror!)
I am a professional clarinetist and have played all of the standard solo and chamber repertoire, as well as many extremely demanding modern works. I never use the "flip" fingering. With a bit of practise I got used to getting to and away from the side keys without any trouble from/to any other note on the instrument. I probably had to spend less time practising this than people have to spend perfecting the "flip", but who knows?
The point is that all of these methods can work. It seems to me that if you learnt the one, it seems inconceivable for you that the other method could work, but people have proven this wrong.
My conclusion- I think we all agree that the side key is better for trills, repetitive patterns, and the smoothest legato. In all other contexts do what works best for you.
