Oh yeah, another reason is that I like solos played on the low strings but those are not often heard, and I know that's debateable but to my ears most solos are played on higher octaves.
No, it wouldn't, if all your fifths are descending. The C is already two steps below the existing low E. Now, if you tune: F2 (2nd octave on the piano) - up to C3 - down to G2 (this is the 3rd fret on the standard low E) -up to D3 - up to A3 and up to E4, you can do it your way. Good luck trying to play certain chords.
