To me it appears that the screen is a huge power hog - at least in the 16.
My idle power consumption at 0% display brightness is around 7.5W, but I've seen people get to as low as 6.5W. Not great, not terrible. With the display at 50% it jumps to the teens(13-17W).
Meanwhile the display in the MBP peaks at 6.2W:

I guess herein lies their secret sauce - with the rest of the device idling at ~5W total power consumption in this state doesn't go beyond 11W.
