One potential criticism of the Acton vent is that it creates a kind of perfection that the clarinet can do without. The somewhat pinched quality of the F sharp using the middle finger is smoothed away leaving a note which has little difference to the fork fingering. Of course, there are significant compensating benefits, but those cannot have been enough or else the demand for Acton fitted instruments would have become overwhelming, which has not been the case.
