You are correct, setting the temp lower will require less BTUs to keep the tank at the set temp, thus saving money.
It wont save much, certainly not by half, by just turning off the heat as suggested. For that to work, the AVERAGE temp of the tank would have to be half of the normal set temp and the room temp. If the basement is 60 degrees and the tank is set at 120, the AVERAGE tank temp would have to drop to 90 for the whole time it was shut off. 90 degree water is not to appealing to most people so saving half is not going to work. Not to mention the cool down period from 120 is not factored in, tank hold temp much better than that so no way is it goig to save half.
