Hi Chris, The problem with trying to evaluate this issue is that one's needs could change at any given time. For example, you might have Bluetooth on at times, and at other times, will not. You might have a battery-intensive app like Money Reader or a GPS App in your switcher. My sense is you hit it right on the head. It may not make that much difference, but if one wishes to use it, that's fine, and if not, that's fine also.
