On the power usage, the difference is that those synapses are almost always in stand-by. The equivalent would be a CMOS circuit with a clock of minutes.
On the complexity, AFAIK a synapse is way more complex than a transistor. Larger too, if you include its share of the neuron's volume. And yes, the count difference is due to the 3D packing.
