Hehe, yeah, I probably did.  I added some "engineering factor" under the 
assumption that a few other binaries might not be installed on a 
backend-only or frontend-only config (things like mythjobqueue or 
mythtranscode or mythcommflag or whatever).

But, as you said, there's not much difference at all.  I think my entire 
MythTV installation is on the order of 90MB, including 20MB of themes 
and 43MB of libraries shared by the frontend and backend (x86_64 
compile, stripped).
