I've seen some people post the same thing on twitter and it's the only thing they have in common.

As an aside, it's been my experience in the past that OTA updates are much smaller than updates through iTunes. It's as though OTA does delta updates and iTunes does a full install.

from a non-beta release the OTA update is usually smaller than the full ipsw file, but from a beta release I'm not surprised its larger.
Delta means change. Basically, he said he believes the OTA updates only modify files that need to change from one version to the next while getting the IPSW pulls the entire package.
You're focusing on beta when you should simply be comparing OTA vs IPSW. If you're not surprised a beta would be ~5-6 times the size of the non-beta, I'm not sure I'd trust you as a source.
