how much battery loss are i7 users seeing during sleep? anyone have comparisons stand by time for i7, i5, c2d mbp and mba?
 
Not sure on specifics but my 13" MBP chews through 15% - 20% in about 6 - 8 hours. I turned off sleep, and use safe sleep instead. What is your i7 giving you?

my i7 is awful, last night lost 30%. my mba losses very little. its a huge difference.
 
3%

If you are running down 20%, I am willing to bet the computer is still running with a blank screen and then after X minutes of inactivity automatically goes to sleep. Otherwise, it is a battery or electrical issue
