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).
So far, I've seen much more free space available on my Voyage after trying the Save to Disk than the Send To Device approach to sending books. By significant margins.
