Sealing A Exterior Door


I'm going to weather stripping 4 door in a historic home and we have decided a low visible setup would suit the home the best, to keep the elegance. So My plan is to install a rubber seal in the corner of the jamb and I came across this tool
www(dot)conservationtechnology(dot)com/downloads/Weatherseals(dot)pdf
page 8, it was also featured in FineHomebuilding
www(dot)taunton.com/finehomebuilding/videos/index.aspx?id=101610
along with this drop down threshold seal
www(dot)taunton.com/finehomebuilding/how-to/stop-drafts-with-drop-down-door-seal-weatherstripping-door-opening.aspx?refer=101610&ac=ts&ra=fp

Just looking for opinions on it, and if anyone here has used either of these products.

(dot) I couldn't post links so I replaced the . with (dot)
