Depends on how good your sprint coverage is.
If it's solid, then yes. You're less likely to be jumping around and switching networks. But 90% of the time you're not going to be holding still in an area where your service is great. Which means you're going to be constantly searching for good Sprint only coverage and draining off your battery even faster.

I really don't see how. Is your phone jumping to roam even though it has a strong Sprint signal? That setting would be utilized if you got charged big bucks when your phone jumped to roam. The folks over at xda-developers have been trying to find an easy way to force roaming to SAVE battery life. Lets say that the Sprint signal is barely keeping a lock on the phone because the signal is so weak. The phone will turn the power up to the max to reach the tower, thereby draining the battery. If the phone allowed/forced to switch to a roaming tower with full signal, the phone could reduce the power and conserve the battery.
