Good Point. I'm not trying to be mean, honestly I promise, but I have to share something that "the powers that be" wanted to do about 15 years ago at my group, which sounds somewhat similar to your situation, to which the end of the conversation went something like this:

"...The fastest way to get 1 Gig of data from here to there? FedEx."

I haven't really paid attention to see if you can globally set "mono", but in this day and age, hard drive storage space is cheap for audio (try doing video, as in TV automation!).

Hard drive space may be cheap, but I have to copy the imported file across the Internet to another system on a bandwidth-challenged DSL connection. 21 MB takes more than twice as long to copy as 7 MB.

Most of the tine, this isn't a problem, but in the summer, thousands of tourists armed with iPads and smartphones descend on that island, and file transfers get slooooooooooooooooooooow. There is of course only one ISP there, and it can't easily accommodate the increase in demand.
