Default RE: servo question(s)

Do digital servos use less power?
Actually, digital servos use more power than analog servos. On an analog servo the servo moves to it's center point and then stays there using no power unless something pushes against it in that center position. But a digital servo moves to it's center point, but then sits there and continuallys "seeks" to stay in that center position regardless if anything is pushing against it. This uses more power from the batteries than the same sized analog servos would.
