npub1scjzkunqrlls8433mwha9t9ws4cfv4jap260n0wxfsj8rxkjh5gqqrpdxj (npub1scj…pdxj) I think what you might be missing is that the top T-stat (which is in reality about mid-way up the tank) will kick on almost immediately if the water in the bottom half of the tank is noticeably cooler. And once it's on, the bottom element is disabled.
Now, perhaps this could be slightly more energy-efficient... but my gut tells me the difference would be negligible. And extending the tank's "size" is its own form of efficiency - more hot water with less standby loss.
