You mean CGCFAD, yes? That does reduce the stretches a little, obviously (around 1/4", which I guess makes all the difference for some).
Of course, if you didn't mind the original key being shifted up a whole step, you can do the same thing in drop D capo 6.
(Just depends who's singing....)
You get interesting results from CGCGBE, capo 6. Even fewer stretches, because now you get open strings where you had fret 2 before! It does make one or two other elements of the piece a little less intuitive; but it could be useful if you had to
lower the key (for whoever is singing).
