I wonder though, if that would be offset by not having to heat the much colder air much more to make it "room temperature".
The "vigor" is governed by the amount of heat the system adds to the air in it. The bottom "suck", will be the same whether it's sucking inside or outside, so yes, sucking from the inside is much better unless you need fresh air.
