Again, to me I see value in having a 12v heated bed. Simply put I like being able to control the heatbed via firmware. To me having a central control point is worth wasting power. At least at this point for me. I plan on integrating a insulated and heated build chamber to my build, and that too will use a 100-200w ceramic 12 heater, and hopefully I can get the firmware to control that one too.

I have to figure out proper fusing for my build as well.
