Discus can come from different rivers, but most of them are very deep and slow moving. Honestly, most Discus keepers say that have no problems with current. I have heavy current but only in some parts of the tank and the Discus don't seem to mind. They usually chill where the current is slower (until they see me then they are running ragged around the tank looking for food)
I have a FX5 pumping out into a Rio 300 - the current is quite strong, but the discus don't seem to care one jot.
They don't avoid any part of the tank.
Yeah but do your Discus chill right in front of the current? Doubt it. Mine will swim threw it but it's not like their favorite place to chill in.
