True, but at that point 60% vs 85% on a load of say 10W is a difference of about 5W draw from the wall. If you live somewhere with high electricity rates it might be worth it, but otherwise at the usual $0.10/kwh that's about $4 per year.
The other situation where it makes sense is off-grid setups, where wasted power is a big deal.
OP mentioned $0.40/kWh, so that would be about $17 per year with a 5 W difference.
