Seems fine here. I can't set up the account as pull since it's Exchange and the mail server doesn't allow for pull access.
I get email constantly from my Lotus Notes account (yes, I'm on Notes. Unbelievable). It is pushed to my device and I get about 100 emails a day. I can go 16 hours standby with 4 hours usage and still have about 25% battery. Since I usually sleep the other 8 hours of each day, this works out great for me.
I get roughly 75-100 e-mails a day pushed through my Zimbra account (sets up on the iPhone/iPad as an Exchange server), along with a me.com, yahoo account and a Gmail (non-push) account, and battery life is fine.
Whether on or off, Push made no difference that I could detect.
The battery was crappy either way lol
Not as bad as a lot of what I'm reading about on here though, but i wouldn't call it 'good' battery life. It's just that I could not discern any change in battery performance when i turned it off.

It's weird considering at work where there is no 3G connection..had push and fetch on battery life went quick but with it off only lost like 8% in 4 hours
not sure wether to have push on or not...it went fast too when i was out.
lost like 10% in 4 hours then.
