I disagree. There is much more to the contract than IR35. If you write the contract then you can specify all sorts of things like:
IP rights
Grievance procedure
Expenses policy
Exclusivity
Ability to resource the contract in whichever way you want
Ability to sell extras e.g. software licenses, hardware.
Bonuses for early completion
...only a few of which are IR35-relevant.
If you let the agency write the contract they will suck as much value out of it as possible, leaving you with an awful bum-on-seat just-charge-for-your-own-time contract that it's impossible to make a decent profit from.
He already said he was happy to use the agents contract so I assumed he was happy with the other clauses in it that you allude to above. I was specifically answering the bit re IR35.
