There is nothing stopping you from storing large objects in session but it isn't advisable. It's true that there's no bandwidth penalty but storing large objects in session can quickly tie up a lot of memory on your server.
If you store a 1 meg object in every user's session and you get 1000 hits within a half an hour..... It's not hard to do the math. Take a look at how your app is used. If you are planning on getting a small amount of traffic from a small amount of users (IE: an intranet app) than storing objects in session can make your life very easy. If on the other hand you are writing a high traffic, internet app that needs to scale you will want to keep session scoped objects to a minimum.
