another transmission flush question V70-XC70 2004

I'm still gathering parts and information to flush the transmission fluid on Mary's 2004 V70 2.5T. Today I picked up a case of Valvoline MAxLife tranny fluid ($57.48 at our local NAPA). I had called and talked to one of Valvoline's techs and he said that it was guarenteed to meet the JWS 3309 specs and was a direct replacement for this car.

Is there any reason not to refill the fluid through the line that comes out of the radiator ? All the write ups that I have seen have the fluid going into the dipstick hole. It seems like a short piece of tubing adapting a funnel to the return line would be much easier. Any advice or opinions ?

Thanks

Greg

ps Sorry to be such so anal retentive about this, but it is an expensive transmission and if I screw it up there will be big trouble on the home front...
