But does it have to be either/or? I've put a question on the IREX forum about whether it is possible to implement an "off mode" - not instead of but as well as, the sleep/standby mode. The unit is obviously doing a lot of things when it's in standby - it would be interesting to know, firstly, what these things are, and secondly, whether it's possible to stop it doing these things if one knows it is not going to be used for a while.
