Are cellular shades really better at keeping heat out? (old.reddit.com)

I was originally looking at motorized blackout shades, but now I’m considering cellular / honeycomb shades instead. The insulation claim makes sense on paper, but I’m trying to figure out how much it matters once the shades are automated anyway.

Is the shade style doing a lot of the work here, or is it mostly about timing and closing them before the room heats up? I’m mainly trying to keep the room comfortable and stop the AC from working so hard.
