Aside from blowing 3/4 qt of cold oil (from the cooler and lines) into a hot engine, I can't think of any reason not to do that.

That's the beauty of either Rob's design or the Canton T-stat...both have the ability to trickle oil thru the cooler at all times so the above scenario never occurs (the Canton flows 90/10 until ~210*).
