Thanks Wojtek, I've been using this graph and cannot seem to find how long it take for pairing to take place. I'm also a bit uncertain to how much data is sent once connected? From advertising one can see from the payload but I'm not sure how to calculate during connection. I hope you can me here? Thanks.

Can't wait for new chip version, with shorter errata then :)

In addition to Wojtek's answer, there is a blog post that gives some examples on current consumption. Additionally, there is info in the current consumption guide.

Just to mention, if low current consumption is the main design criteria, nRF52 is a better choice, generally with 40%-50% current consumption compared to nRF51.
