the multitouch and outdoor panels use 2~3W more depending on brightness. this translates into anywhere from 1~3 hours less runtime depending on which battery is installed.
if you need the longest possible battery runtime then the pen-only display is what you want.

Yes, it is. The standard display is 200 nits, while the multi-touch is 300 nits. Personally, I find the 200 nit standard screen offers more than enough brightness for most uses except outdoors. I set the brightness to just under half of the time. Plus the frameless display is very good too.

Keep in mind the multi-touch has an extra layer on the LCD, which gives it a more grainy look. The frameless display on the X200t or X201t has no lip or seam where the LCD meets the LCD frame, making it nicer to use in tablet mode. You can see the a picture of it here:
this is opposed to typical LCD display here:
