I had answered this before, as Carl probably assumed a double-valve
bass trombone (which is standard now), but I just saw a show today
where the tenor trombonist had to play a low B FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
HIS CAREER! He is 47 and has held first trombone positions in major
orchestras and played every kind of gig under the sun, and he said he
didn't even know if his valve slide still moved until he had to pull it.
I just thought it was funny that this subject came up, and the same
week a guy with so much experience had never seen a written low B
before on a gig. Of course, he IS a tenor trombonist, but just the same!

A low b natural, such as is found in Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra?

OK, to ask something seriously, did you have any trouble learning to
adjust your slide positions when you had to pull your F slide to E?
To E?? I've played on horns that allowed you to switch it to G,
but ...
what possible benefit would you getb from tuning to E?
