The big penalty for the smaller size is that you need the scheme in order to deserialize the message. This can make some uses much more complex. For example when sending multiple types of messages, the client somehow needs to know which schema is used. How Avro is used with the Confluent Schema registry this is solved by having a way to globally register schema's, and encode the global id in the message. It looks similar to https://github.com/damballa/abracad which hasn't been updated in a while, but I use it in a pet project to use Avro from Closure. I might try replacing it.
