I assume T-Spline and Nurbs will be smaller, but how much smaller?

there's no easy way to answer this. But, I would expect that a mesh would give you a smaller file size than either Tsplines or Nurbs. Here are the respective 3DM file sizes for the turtle model:

low res mesh = 204 Kb
hi res mesh = 976 Kb
tspline (saved normally) = 11.3 Mb
tspline (saved small) = 1.97 Mb
tspline (saved as geometry only) = 1.68 Mb
