People are just fine with installing plugins. There are plenty of popular addons that use plugins already instead of packing a bunch of optional components in the main download. IMO, your lo-fi version should be separate, too. *shrug*

Not to mention, the larger your main download is, the more bandwidth it uses each time it gets downloaded. Both by your users *and* by WoWInterface. Ex.- Oops, you had a typo in version 1.7. You upload 1.7.1 to fix it, but 200 people had already gotten 1.7. Some of those people might have a metered data plan and now need to download all of the instrument files again in order to get the fix that could have been in just a smaller, core addon. Plus, that's 200 more huge files that WoWI has to serve again.
