It's a more thorough way to change the fluid, and recommended at certain major intervals. There are parts of the transmission and torque converter where fluid will never drain from without a flush.

I would just change it. You risk transmission problems with a flush. If the old fluid is really dirty I would change the fluid, drive it for a while and change again.
