Well, Andy, all I can say is that if auto brightness is set to automatic, and I have the screen curtain on, when I check screen brightness it is at 0.
When I turn off screen curtain, it adjusts to the room so my wife can see it. So, my logic says that if indeed brightness set to 0 saves battery, then auto brightness and screen curtain saves battery. I'll leave everyone to their own opinion on this one since I'm stuck with mine.

Screen curtain won't help that much if auto brightness is turned off. My first gen SE and my SE 2020, both stay at zero so long as Screen Curtian is on as well as auto brightness.
