And you're right about newer equipment - often it runs more efficiently at lower outputs, so shifting demand around may actually take more energy (but of course if the cost difference is substantial that may not matter)
I've just got your bog standard 13 SEER one-way air conditioner, though. It's either running or it's not, so it doesn't have any efficiency tricks up it's sleeve
