Transmission fluid WITHOUT replacing filter

Transmission fluid WITHOUT replacing filter
I just spoke with the local GM dealer for a tranny flush @200 inc the fluid
( is that a fair price)
They told me the flush will not included the filter replacement cause they do it by the hoses not dropping the oil pan .
The truck is 80.000 miles . Im not sure filter was replaced before ( I guess NOt) .. Should I pay extra for change the filter ?
The guy told me the flush will clean the filter too cause it got pressure so wont need to replace >>> Still not sure if works like that or the are too lazy to drop the pan and work with filter .
What are your recommendations
THank you for the inputs

Theres an old argument about rinsing grit off clutch packs. My own opinion i would change filter and forget about flush. My tranny didn't need rebuilt until it hit 150k then my 2nd to 3rd shift was a very noticeable slip, had it rebuilt and told the man i wanted stronger firmer shifts without going too crazy, now if i jump on it hard i can get all 4 wheels to chirp going into 2.
Extremely hilarious the look on peoples faces, like.... how is that even possible? lol

Ive been researching and so far 60 % of people agrees to drop pan and replace filter with the oil . And advise to not flush for many different reasons ..
Also found the fluid pumped is a "universal fluid " not the one recommended by the car manufacture
I got not doubt to flush it till the dealer guy told me the filter will be self-cleaning with the flush pressure .. !REALLY
Now Im in a middle battle flush or not to flush
Im leaning to not flush .. The fluid is still very clear and doesn't smell burn .

I personally don't want any of that universal recycled crap in my vehicle. And pressure on a filter to clean it doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
