Why would you want to replace that with a $5 ball and spring check valve, and why would you think it would be "better" for the car?
You are an engineer, you know what a terrible argument that is. Engineers are paid to make something extremely reliable and as cheap as is practical in addition to a bunch of other considerations. Their job is hardly to optimize performance. MBCs still suck though.
