IK, I was under the impression that doing high intensity intervals for say 15 minutes, wont burn as many cals durring the session as solid state for 30 minutes, but it works to keep your metabolism higher for a longer period after the workout. Thus making it more beneficial, is that on point, or am I going completely nuts?

That's pretty much it

When you do SS, the cals you burn during the session are all you'll burn from that activity. Whereas higher intensity interval sessions (which can be shorter in time duration ) won't burn as many cals DURING the session, but there's a residual calorie burning with it, similar to what you have post lifting. So you'll continue to burn cals long after you finish the intervals.
