I run OPUS on a *.msg base in an HPFS drive, and loose very little drive 
space.  I might loose some, but not enough to worry about.  A good reason to 
switch to MAX is there is an OS/2 version, which gives you a ton of power 
with REXX being available, super stable OS, and neither the BBS or other apps 
have much affect on each other.  This is also true to a lesser degree with 
OPUS running under OS/2, but OPUS can affect other apps, particularly games 
like DOOM or Epic pinball which run a little (LOT) slow if the OPUS is 
running.  Most lessor games, like tetris, and the like, have no problem 
running with OPUS and OS/2.  OS/2 is especially nice if you prefer non gui 
crap.
