I don't want to have to run save-to-disk every time i want to transfer files to my kindle, but if I re-import after saving to disk, wouldn't I then have multiple copies of the same book in my library?

Save to Disk allows you to save ebooks to devices that aren't directly supported by Calibre. For example, I have a Nokia N900 phone that I've installed fbreader on so I can read on the go. Calibre doesn't directly support my phone so I can't use Save to Device. I have to use Save to Disk and point to my phones memory card.
Also, say your roommate has their own Calibre installation and you downloaded a great book from MobileRead and want to share it with them. You could use the Save to Disk function to save it to a usb key and give it to them. They can import it and get all the correct metadata that you've already updated.
