For anyone else using external displays with the 16” MBP, is there any delay on your end when you unplug the monitor(s) with the laptop’s display coming back up?

I have two external monitors connected to a CalDigit TS3+ dock connected with a single cable to one of the Thunderbolt ports on my laptop. Laptop stays open on a stand. I used the same setup with my 2016 MBP and when I disconnected from the old machine the laptop’s display would go black and then immediately come back up. With the new 16” laptop though there is a much longer delay, generally 8-10 seconds, when I unplug the Thunderbolt cable.

Just trying to figure out if this is a usual behavior with these new machines and just something quirky with the graphics switching or if it’s a problem on my end.
 
Want to bump this for one last shot to see if anyone else is seeing a similar behavior.
