I don't know why it matters what format you use. File size is not a big
issue in this case. Compatibility is... especially when distributing a
software application to a large audience, as jan is. 

I am about to release some software myself, and the format of the download
/ install is the easiest decision to make: you go with the format that is
compatible with a LARGE target audience. 

If the debate is *.cab versus *.7zip, I would choose *.cab for sheer range
of compatibility.

In the end, jan should decide for himself... if supporting the 7zip format
is so important to him that he would risk not reaching a larger audience,
then he is welcome to make that decision. I would go with the more
compatible format.
