This is the way that "quick lubes" do it in this area (they call it a "flush & fill), and I was thiking that it would be quicker and easier than the drain the pan and top up 3 to 4 times method.

If you are filling with cheap ATF, the wasted fluid you would lose to make sure you have a complete flush wouldn't be a big deal. If you are using synthetic ATF from Mobil, Redline, Amsoil or BG you probably would want to be sure every drop you put in, stays in.
