Slab setback?

I am wondering if there are any drawbacks to a 2 degree night setback on a 5-6" slab setup. Just seems like a lot of extra work for the boiler.
Thanks

if you have...
radiant floors...and especially radiant slab floor it is (in my opinion) not a good idea to use set back of any degree...there is way too much mass to bring back up in a reasonable time period...yes it goes against traditional thinking but radiant floor is not a traditional heating system in the US....Mark Eatherton just posted on this subject in another post re: energy savings...kpc
