Never tried 1 up / 5 down gears, but don't see how it'd makes shifting smoother in itself, that said it may be different if it's used in conjunction with a quickshifter / clutchless upshifts.
I've heard the bike-banked-over point as well, never heard of the leg muscle argument though.
Might be worthwhile on a track bike, can't see the point on a road bike.
