I've played with the flaps in cruise also... found similar. But it seems like with most everything relating to the 10..... it depends..... on speed, power settings, wind direction, altitude, bp, what day of the week, or how many on board. I'm sure there's an altitude range that having the plane in reflex provides the best result.... but I don't think it's above 8,000 feet.

I tried going back and forth from full up (reflex) to first notch (in trail, or zero deg).
14500', density alt 16,000'
LOP at 9 gal/hr, WOT, 2400 RPM, 159 KTAS
2 adults plus bags
I couldn't see any difference in speed. Maybe next time I'll try an in between setting.

I played with them too and recorded some numbers since lost. My conclusion was similar to Don's except I would have said "...I don't think it's above 10,000 feet".
Between 7 and 9k where I spend most of my time, I use them 100% of the time in cruise.
