I only tried EO(ff)C a couple of times in the Fabia but I used the the key to restart. I was probably over worrying about the clutch but it cost me £1200 to replace the other year. I stuck to EO(n)C instead mainly as I wanted to retain the PAS (with the engine off the Fabia was a pig to steer) and also because I was worried about heat-soak in the turbo causing the seals to fail.

Now I don't have a turbo so I may try that more, also the steering on the Aygo is dead easy with the engine off - I don't start it for rolling the car round the drive unless I need to move it up the hill.
