Remote Oil Filter - Best Filter Element?

Guess no one else is using a remote trans filter.
I suspect many are asking "why"?
With routine street driving you can go 100,000+ miles on the original fluid and filter.
I just checked with Chuck at FLT, and he said that the cooling line pressure can get into the 120 psi range, which is about twice that of typical engine oil pressure. Might that be too much for a spin-on filter gasket?

Thank you for the information about heavy duty truck transmission filters.
It just seems no one is using an external trans filter on LS vehicles.
However we always recommend, and many are using, an external cooler.

As a follow-up...
...I installed a new reconditioned 4L60E with new converter, large additional tranny cooler in front of the radiator, and a B & M brand remote transmission oil filter assembly. All plumbed with new Aero-Quip FC-332 Push-Lok blue hose & brass Push-Lok fittings. Not a hose clamp in sight, lol. Thanks for everyones help on this site.
