Hello Wolfram
as both questions are related, I will answer the second question first
Yes there is a slight difference for all modules, but it won't be really big. I can't tell you dedicated values. The biggest influence may come from blinking diodes or displays (but doesn't have to come - it always depends on the dedicated circuit).

I think the most clear example is: A headphone amp in (loud) use will draw more current than an unused headphone amp.Another quickie: Is there any difference between the voltage consumption of connected modules (buffered indeed) in use and unpatched modules (but connected to the bus)?

short question: Are the 1200mA of the A-100PSU2 completely available or is there any need for some kind of headroom?It depends on, wether you expect to have some changing power requirements in your patch. If we take the headphone amp from above and you decide to have twenty seconds of very loud noise, this amp will draw more current at this moment, so you should have the corresponding headroom.
I think I have to make a T-shirt with this phrase ;-)My setup allows no headroom for headroom
