Often when I'm playing legato at the high end of the neck I find myself switching from standard 1-finger-per-fret fingering and using mainly the first three fingers of my fretting hand, only using the fourth for 4NPS stuff. I find my fingers aren't cramped together so much that way, which makes it easier to get a good legato tone. Oh, and I've got pretty thin, spindly fingers.
