The latter one could be shorter:

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,W:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday

Note that with DOWNTIME, the hosts will only go blue (disabled) if they are 
actually detected as being down. So if you're just rebooting them (which takes
a couple of minutes) then you may not see anything blue during the period.

Of course, there should not be anything red.
