Thanks John,
I just looked up a description of the Wilwood version.
They also have a self-bleeding check valve.
These seem like great ideas, especially if they works as advertised.

Residual Pressure Valve Description
Residual Pressure Valve 2lb, Blue, w/o Fittings.
Wilwood two pound residual pressure valves retain a minimum brake line pressure to help eliminate excessive pedal travel in both disc and drum brake systems. The two pound valve is used in disc brake applications where the master cylinder is mounted below the horizontal plane of the calipers and fluid drain back occurs from gravity and vibration, thereby causing excessive caliper piston retraction and a longer brake pedal stroke. The minimal two pound residual pressure prevents fluid from flowing back without causing the brakes to drag. Residual Pressure Valves are made from billet aluminum and color coded for easy identification.
Apparently, they're used in scenarios where the M/Cs are mounted below the calipers, and that is the case, with my installation. Residual Pressure Valve 2lb, Blue, w/o Fittings.
