 Re: Left F necessity?

Adult beginner here. I don't have to worry about the members of my chamber music group frowning on me because I don't have a Left F, but I use Left F constantly anyway when going from bottom-low C to up first-space F. It saves a "blip" because your fingers aren't fast enough. It also comes in very handy in the key of Db, for going from first-space F down to low Db, also saving a "blip".

How necessary is it? I'd hate to have to go back to my first oboe that didn't have it. On a scale of "necessity" ranging from "can't live without it" to "don't need it at all", I'd put it about the middle, at "incredibly convenient".
