With the time off it is actually just the opposite. In a federal prison, at most, you can get credited with 54 days of good time per year so you end up serving about 85% of your time. At the state level you can get a lot more time reduced and end up serving a lot less because they take other factors like overcrowding, what you are in for, etc. into consideration.
The good part about state time is you will likely stay close to home so your friends and family can come see you and you are typically in with fewer violent criminals. On the fed side, they can move you whenever they want wherever they want so you can be convicted in California and end up doing time in Georgia.
