Well, if you actually measure the draw of the connected but idle mode vs not connected, you will see that it is essentially identical. Then measure the draw of re-connecting vs coming out of idle and you will see the draw is much higher, and longer to re-connect then to come out of idle. Net battery loss for anyone who connects often (many times in an hour, for example)

I'm glad it works for you.
