Chris has summed it up masterfully, as usual!
The only other thing I would mention, though it was not asked, is the clearance for the C tone-hole which is governed by the height of the lower-plate when closed. There is no adjusting screw for this.
If you are re-corking either the "half-hole" pad or the bumper cork beneath the lower plate, take the needed clearance into account. If your half-hole pad is too thin or the bumper cork too thick it can seriously muffle C in both registers.
