If height isn't too much of an issue, the 2.4VA ones are pretty reasonably
priced in quantity and the footprint is reasonable (you can put stuff under
them, to some degree) . I've seen much smaller ones in Japanese equipment
(but maybe not approved), and I have a piece of industrial equipment here
that has a UL/CSA transformer that is 1.5" x 1.2" but only 0.9" high (I'd
estimate 1VA). The 2.4VA (and similar 1.2VA types) are 1.4" x 1.2" x 1.2"
high.
