Size of 7-man EGTB with pawns only? With at least one pawn?

I'm thinking of trying to get a collection of the 6-man tablebases, and from reading these forums I guess that will take between 1 and 1.5 TB.
And it got me thinking about the 7-man tablebases... I'm not into engine-engine competitions, just playing through games and getting engine analysis - so I figure the most useful 7-man information will be those positions that contain at the very least one pawn on the board (human games rarely have 7 pieces left with no pawns). Now I think I've read that the 7-manners will take about 1000 TB or so (please correct me).
About how much memory is required for 2 Kings and 5 Pawns?
About how much memory is required for 2 Kings and all the positions with 1-4 pawns (and the appropriate number of other pieces to bring the total to 7)?
About how much memory is required for 2 Kings and 0 Pawns (meaning of course, 5 pieces on the board)?
I'm not looking for any definitive number, just a ballpark guess from you guys that think about this stuff all the time.
