Dissimilar but when I use a six string I constantly get people "Totally pointless, you don't need all those notes"
To be honest I rarely use the higher notes you gain from the C string, I more often use it for ease and not having to jump up the fretboard.. Definitely true about falling into the trap of using B - Eb more often though.. I think it's just from usually playing the E as a top string and generally rooting around that position for E-Ab usually..
