Says who, and why?
By default, Save-to-Disk performs the same metadata updates performed during Send-to-Device, and other than that, it is the same original file...
Why on earth would there be any difference between the two, except of course that Send-to-Device is device-aware and can select specific formats, use device-specific plugboards, optionally calculate Kindle APNX files, integrate with the Kobo database, etc.
If anything, Save-to-Disk requires more space, because by default it also saves the metadata.opf and cover.jpg (and creates extra folder inodes).
