This may be true (and likely is in general), but the mpc you use and the main slide you use can have an impact on your opinion. Adding a cap to the third valve can be a lot like adding a brace to the main slide. (In general, focus increases and the slotting becomes more "stable"). So if you've got a slide that makes the horn a touch "slippery", then one or two caps may get you right where you want to be.
