Great, thanks. Do I need everything up there or just the mate-* & cinnamon-* archives?

For mate, I suggest that you install everyting in the /base and /deps folders. And pick what you want from /extra.

No experience with cinnamon, but guess it is the same.

I grabbed them both - they are comparatively small. Cinnamon is 91 Megs, Mate ≅135 Megs in archives and associated trivia. That's beside 954 Megs for kde and 17 Megs(!) for xfce. Mate has more trivia and eye candy, with compatibility libs in the deps/. Extra/ otoh, seems to have utilities that most geeks would view as essentials, which excludes me.
