Two-beat crossover kick...bad?

I have done a two-beat crossover kick for years and am a distance swimmer. Is this a bad thing to do? Should I be trying to move up to a faster kick?

    Some of the videos of Thorpe I have counted mostly 6 beat kick and then he ups it to 8 beats then takes it back to 6 beats. It seems to me when he is changing gear he ups the kick to an 8 beats. I have watched him on Dartswim dead slow.
