I am unable to find any ISOs of that media. It appears this is somewhat
intentional:

Therefore I have difficulty evaluating just how much impact this would
be. Do you have a link to the recipe for building such an image? I
suspect the incremental cost of each additional desktop environment
would be successively lower, but without data...
Caveat: I wrote the tooling there. It does use the the generated Desktop
Live ISOs as a base for making the large "super" ISO.
