Looks like for me its still faster to go offline mode then lock screen and keys. What does softpoweroff buy me over that?
screen blacks out and locks immediately (well, it does on my tablet; see the bug on different timeouts). The two-button shutdown has a strange quirk: if I play a movie and shut down via the menu (powerkey, enter key), my screen will not black out completely and will not lock. The tablet needs a certain amount of time to sort itself out before the menu-standby will work again. I don't get this with softpoweroff.

Also, powering up the device doesn't need two keypresses, just the long keypress on the power key.
