Very excited about this, as I desperately need it for something I am planning. Still the best way to provide detailed info to a user.

150 KB is nothing to worry about. Even if 1 MB was the minimum it still couldn't be classed as large these days, when you compare average app sizes on sites like MajorGeeks. People are used to large sizes now.
