I'm not saying this because Wes played this way - this is just the law of nature (or whatever).
I too have switched from using the pinky for everything to changing. Within matter of days (probably 10 ~ 15 days) I could play cleaner than ever.
Of course what works for me might not work for everyone, but it is clearly more efficient just from a scientific point of view.
