Just to add in a different view point...

The experience with the 'Check Total' field was very jarring in the
old system, and the error message was very confusing. I would often
get calls from our finance team asking me what the message meant - it
was just because they hadn't entered the check total, not because of
an error on the invoice. When they entered a supplier invoice, they
naturally check the total against the invoice total anyway. So our
finance team were very happy to see this field and the validation
removed (I had a number of comments on this!).

So, please don't put it back! I think that it's okay to make it a
system-configurable option, or even to provide a small optional module
that adds the feature.
