Full Boehms...

Am I a rare breed playing full-time on Full Boehms?

I've played a pair of Selmer 'Centered Tone' N.6 (which has everything except the low Eb) clarinets since 1987, and have moved to a pair of Series 9 N.8 clarinets recently, but now see the few major brands that once offered full boehms in their lineup now longer don't, and the only extra keywork option seems to be the LH Eb/Ab key (which should really be standard on most intermediate and pro instruments).

Only problem with full boehms is the full fingering for the altissimo Bb (Th, Sp, 123 G#, 456 F/C), as the articulated G# key remains closed with the RH rings, and I welcome any full boehm players on here that know a good fingering for this note to let me know.
