very good idea much easyer than accesing that bottom hose ,,,,,although removing the hose may allow for the bigger pieces of rust to come out

I've thought about on of them cheap rads, cheaper than a recore. IMO a drain is only good for letting coolant out in a controlled manner. I usually poke a tray under and remove the lower hose (i have small hands and can do that) 
And like jimmy said, big bits of rust, silicone, gasket, water pump vanes, small animals will get caught in it. |

Some mini radiators already have the drain on the bottom of them. At least mine does. I still find it easier to just take the bottom Radiator hose off. If you have the clamp positioned right, so that you can get to the screw with a long screwdriver, it really isn't too hard. |
