10% relative to the wonky IFT1-style flip maneuver, but for a droneship landing scenario they could probably do a Falcon-type separation while flying faster and more horizontally, so presumably the penalty would be a lot less than 10%. By also eliminating the mass of the hot-staging ring, maybe it could be a net positive.It also bumps the payload capacity by about 10%. Well worth keeping.
