guix size coq -> 869.7 MB
guix size coq:ide -> 1557.0 MB
Almost twice as much, because this brings in graphical dependencies. Separating packages to multiple outputs can reduce the closure size of some outputs, but if you build the package, you get the same number of dependencies as if there were a single output. You have everything to gain if you get substitutes, and nothing to lose if you don't have any or want to use the more expensive output.
