Yes, it is a very good job, and it works well as a piece of engineering.
I didn't want any extra pinky keys, so I asked for all the low notes to be operated by the thumb. With practice, it's quite easy to get around the low notes, as the keys have quite a light touch, and they only require a short travel. I recently played a contemporary orchestral piece where almost the whole of the first page was written using notes Eb and below. However, I could imagine situations where an extra D key would be useful (e.g. low C - low D trill)
