Their observations match my understanding. Eco mode is helpful because it trains the driver, and restrains "bad" behaviors, like quick acceleration. On the hybrid, it seems to regen more aggressively, which is better than heavy friction brake usage, but not as good as coasting.
A smooth driver can achieve equivalent results in either Eco or Normal.
