Just a minor aside but owners should care about the sales. Sales = Longevity/Long product life cycles, especially important if said product is software based.
Sega Dreamcast while underpowered was still one of the best systems ever, but it basically lasted 2 years.
These considerations are obviously separate from anyone's current satisfaction and usage, just common sense that sales equal years of support.
To the main topic, if I understand this correctly, the save style being discussed is the default behavior?
If so it's easy to just offer multiple ways to save. Standard referencing to the original locations with saves in kb to small MB range. A collect all and save method that could result in these much larger saves, but offer piece of mind you have duplicated samples in the event of destructive editing and things, and perhaps a "container" style save that allows a user to only save what they want in the container save on a tick box menu. The last method being very easy to share or travel with.
