My take on this is that I would much rather download a large ISO because
I often end up installing on multiple machines and it makes it much
nicer and easier if there are a large number of packages at install time.
One thing that puts me off trying Fedora is that they're all CD ISOs and
I love that Mandriva does such a complete install with its DVD ISO.
If you want the smaller download with Mandriva you can download One.

DVD disc sizes will always be a limiting factor, i.e. you can't fit
the whole main repo on one single DVD; and multiple DVD's means more
initial download size when (e.g. 2x4GB ISO's or more). Also note that
if you're installing e.g. KDE4, then all the GNOME packages on those
iso's are useless to you.
