Though your right that centrifugal gravity is significantly more energy efficient. | |

Centrifuges provide constant acceleration to whoever is within, allowing doing valuable work while inside as well. Also you might not need to stop the centrifuge once you've spun it up, just make an airlock/spinlock that would spin up and down according to the personnel's desire to go in or out of the device, losing way less energy in the process. | |
