Let me disagree. I would also be happier if there were a mechanical on/off switch, but the amount of power usage does make a difference. If it contributes only 1% of the current power drain when off then I can live with that quite easily. If it is the only reason that the clock has to be kept powered, then the sin of using one makes the designers deserve eternal hell.
