Naturist, watts can never be drawn. Watts is a unit of measurement to determine output of a device. (amps x volts) and it always fluctuates
Amps are drawn. It is poor verbiage but they sure aren't pushed. The load determines the amps. V=I*R.

Now the argument of which size is more efficient is debatable. Only solution to that is buy different sizes, clamp them and there ya got the results.
I think it would be easier to state the larger the inverter the larger the no load losses are. Generally increases amperage rating comes from increased transistors in parallel.
