I've changed several of mine from 5-way to 3-way since i like the 3-way best -- don't have to contend with accidentally knocking into positions 3 or 4, which I seldom use anyway. I've also found that the old school way of "jamming" a 3-way between positions works just fine, and, to my ears, produces a better "in between" tone than a 5-way. I've discussed this with others, and several agree that that's also their experience, although electronically all else is equal. So a 5-way doesn't buy you much unless you use positions 3 and 4 a lot.
