I don't currently run a mirror because I don't have quite enough bandwidth available, but if I were running a mirror I'd rather serve up 1.2 GB to each of those users than 4 GB. --
As a mirror operator, I'd rather reduce space by getting rid of the ISOs. Less disk space also would lead to less RAM needed on the mirror servers. Bandwidth isn't as big of deal to most me (and I imagine most mirror operators) but hardware to support the mirror is expensive, and any savings in disk used by a release is a positive in my book.
