Do you want to keep it from sleeping and keep the logo lit or let it sleep and keep the logo lit?

I wouldn't do it. The machine already runs hot enough in clamshell mode. You're going to make it run even hotter if the display is on as well.

100,000/24/360 = ~ 10 years.
Obviously that is constant use, so could be higher.
