Glad to see this topic, actually. This past weekend my folks had a radiant barrier sprayed in their attic and got additional foam insulation sprayed in as well...with a promise from the AC repair company that their electricity bill would be reduced by 25% on average.
Did they get hosed, or is this "energy efficient" home concept really the new thing I just need to understand better?

Yes and no. Foam offers a significant advantage, but radiant barrier does nothing with foam. Sorry...
I have open cell on the roof deck/rafters and closed cell in my walls. Just moved in, so I'll report back when I get my first electric bill.
