German (Oehler) system clarinets

I've just finished overhauling an F. Arthur Uebel Oehler-system clarinet and am having a good time learning to play it. As a long-term Boehm-system clarinetist but an advanced-beginner oboe hacker, the Oehler-system fingerings appear to be a nice synergy of oboe and Boehm clarinet fingering schemes. An oboist friend of mine called it "recorder fingering".

I was wondering how many Boehm-trained clarinetists on the BB have gotten comfortable playing Oehler system, either exclusively or in parallel with playing Boehm system? And of those who play both systems regularly, have you found any particular advantages/disadvantages of either?
