Yes, I think you are right, the difference is negligible and the advantage significant. I will try with 9V linear regulator, and if that doesn't work out look at doing an SMPS. Really, not my field, but I guess there must be some open source designs out there I could borrow.
Not sure how much current a fully loaded board might draw. It may be only 200mA or so. I will try to get some measurements.
