You may get less glare but a flat finish is darn near impossible to wash and any water splash marks on the wall end up being super difficult to remove.

The walls in my basment were painted with a lower gloss flat finish and every time water dripped down the wall from a splash during maintenance left a mark behind--even after lots of scrubbing when i eventually took the tank down.

A little glare may be a trade off for a more cleanable surface IMO and IMWO (in my wife's opinion) who did most of the scrubbing
