I believe this depends entirely on your use patterns and for many people (perhaps the majority at this point) the screen is the bigger power draw.
As Gary Gulman said "The phone is now a seldom used app on my phone."

But, also, for most of those people, eink would not be practical. They are watching videos and playing games, not just reading or texting.
