I could be mistaken, but DX mode in camera is initially captured in FX and then down sampled in-camera. So you would probably save a fair amount of space in the end on your memory card and would be able to take more photos.

That's not correct. DX mode just takes the data from the middle of the sensor. There is no downscaling.
