Nope, I don't. The 6k addition is just about the entire contribution that the use of the Google Closure Library will add to the size of the deliverable, which puts us way ahead of any of the other libs. The images - or SVG files - for the button states alone will contribute such an increase in the size of the final deliverable that the size increase caused by the addition of 6k of highly optimised JS is negligible.
