I guess you can remove more this way than by draining from the sump plug.

To me thats not the best way to do it and theres a risk you leave bits of crap at the bottom of the sump. I don't see how fighting gravity can get more oil out of the sump than draining it directly from the sump?
If you're adding more oil than specified you run the risk of oil forcing its way out of seals etc because its got nowhere else to go. Stick to the specified quantities.
