Joe is right. Disk space is very cheap, and if you worry about 10MB, maybe your focus should be on a new employment situation. BTW, I wouldn't use either one of them. They both have a history of screwing up config files. As long as you have CLI, and editors, such as vi or pico, learn to do do admin the way it is meant to be done.
