I have a 2002 montesa 315r and I think that they are still very smooth and easy to cope with. You can make them a lot sharper by lifting the throttle needle up one notch.
i use some dewatering fluid from my local paint manufacture supplier, no oil or silocone contents, wash bike spray it on wipe down done no rust! mind you its also kept in a heated lock up!!
you ask will a fuel filter restrict fuel (you say you know it will when its got crap in it) and you want to know is it worth fitting one
but if 1/ you fit one it stops the said crap getting onto the carb and blocking jets etc! 2/ clean it regularly and it "wont" bung up! with said crap.
so either you fit one clean it and have no probs, don't fit one and get crap in carb which is harder to clean out etc.3/ dont put the crap in your tank!
so by my reckoning you already know the merits??
"You seem to have maken an art form out of stating the obvious!!
I was stating the FACT that, when clogged, they will restrict flow"
spoke to an East mids official ans its our region and once you become an intermediate you can not drop down, but club permitting you can ride any route!
once you are over 40 you can then do that!
reason for doing it is to stop an inter riding as over 40 for 2 years dropping to novice and then cleaning up!

They WILL restrict the flow when clogged
Have another read of my first post and you will see that the reason for fitting one in the first place is to avoid cr*p in the carb.

no deff not me as i would not be daft enough to ask it the filter would block up when i got crap in it! , AS a mechanic of 20 years i would know its better to have the crap trapped in a filter then going into the carb/jets/engine and causing damage/running concerns.
Then again im not daft enough to get the crap in the tank to start with!!!
As has been stated you either replace them regulary or clean them, think of a air filter, that would bung up with crap if you did not clean it so do you take yours out and leave it out in fear of it restricting air?
Spoke to someone on Sunday who said that if you had been on the intermediate rating or are now you no long go back down to novice and you are expected to ride the hard/expert rule!
They will restrict the flow when the bits from the tank clog it up, No??

what the hell do you think a fuel filter is for? and where do you think the crap would end up if you had not got it fitted? oh maybe block a jet and stop the engine, never mind eh!
if it doesn't have one dont put one on if it was suppost to have one it would have come with it and i have found on betas that you cant have one cause the space is to small and the tubes pinch
