iTunes coverart size difference

How much difference does the coverart make? I'm considering getting album coverart attached to each song, but I have about 70GB of music in 15,000+ songs. What would that do to the size of my collection? Anyone care to make an educated guess?

    Well... we can estimate 500KB cover art per song... 500KB * 15,000 songs = 7.5GB growth. Of course cover art is probably a lot less than 500KB when compressed/reduced size.

    That 500 KB number was the one I'm not sure about. That seems awfully large, but I don't know. Isn't there a way to get the images via the web, like the titles from the CDDB? Anyone know what the average file size is from there?
