Right...

I of course knew that, but still mixed it up :/

Does the same rationale referring to size still apply?

if the difference of size with and without extras is not big, I don't
think is worth it to worry about it. The target platforms are "modern"
desktops with plenty of space. (modern as in an hd or sd card bought
in the last 10 years)

Anyway, up to you!

Thanks again for the work on this!
