Does anyone know how these would compare in efficiency versus dedicated adapters? Seems to me like it would have to be lower, no?

The efficiency could be terrible and still save energy verses the parasitic draw of the multiple wall-warts I need to charge all of my stuff today.

This doesn't even take into account the energy needed to make and ship so many different adapters.
