Swing check valve question

Im trying to plan out my piping for the new tank build and noticed i had a bunch of schedule 80 and misc. parts. One of those parts was a new 1.5'' true union swing check valve. The return piping will be 1''.

If i use reducers to fit the 1.5'' check valve onto the 1'' piping will it have any negative effect on the flow? Should i just fork out the extra $$ to pick up a 1'' or can i utilize this one without dramaticly increasing head pressure on the pump? Any input would be appreciated. TIA
