I agree putting a valve on the drain side is a bad idea. You should never restrict the drain, only restrict the water returning to the tank. It never hurts to have extra drain capacity.

the restricted drains that they are talking about also have "safety drains". If something were to happen to the drain that is restricted it will back up a little and then run down the safety drain also. This allows for the drains to fine tuned and run almost, but not quite, on a siphon. They run almost completely silent without the flushing and/ or hassel of duros.
