Qtopia vs. Qt

We've got a suite of tools that run on a PC under Linux that were built with Qt 3.4. Note, these are tools that run in a console, so we don't have any UI requirements.

We'd like to run those same tools on a mini-PC running an ARM processor. I've looked at Qtopia and spoke to the sales reps at Trolltech. Again, no requirements for a UI, these are headless processes.

Assuming that we upgrade and port to the latest Qt 4.x, I have a few questions:
- Does anyone know how much smaller an application built using Qtopia will be than the same app built using Qt? Can you give me a rough percentage?
- Is there a reason I couldn't use Qt and the appropriate cross compiler? I guess I'm asking if I have to use Qtopia.

Thanks for the help,
Mark
