Not really, you are restricting yourself by the artificial CD size limit.
You don't have to use the full size of whatever bigger medium you
choose (DVD, 1 or 2GB stick) but you are currently providing a poorer
user experience because you insist on a medium from the last century.
I agree, I think bumping the image size to 1GB and use
DVD/mini-dvd/usb-stick is the sane way forward, since we consistently
run into the cd limit and are forced to make changes that negatively
affect the user experience in various ways.
