exactly!

there will not be the same amount of energy absorbed in the brakes or the wheels.

With MIN autobrakes you will not need to dissipate as much energy simply because you will use more runway with the MIN setting as compared to MED with all other things being the same. Therefore the extra roll will decrease the energy needed to stop.
