You are correct, setting the temp lower will require less BTUs to keep the tank at the set temp, thus saving money.
It wont save much, certainly not by half, by just turning off the heat as suggested. For that to work, the AVERAGE temp of the tank would have to be half of the normal set temp and the room temp.
