Default New Shower Head

We stayed at a hotel recently that had a Moen 3838 shower head that we really
liked. See http://tinyurl.com/3xnma73. (I'm assuming that model is the correct
one. It looks exactly like the one in the hotel.)

According to the specifications, the flow rate is 2.5 GPM. I really like strong
water flow for showers. (How much water does a shower head with 50% of a normal
flow rate save if you have to stay in the shower twice as long?) Some shower
heads have the ability to remove the flow restricters for homes with low water
pressure.

Is 2.5 GPM a decent flow rate for us old timers who like real showers, and do I
need to make sure that the flow restricter is removable before I buy three of
these heads?
