Just to be clear, Armory developers see the issue with how big and how much GB the chain takes up locally right? Hence a "light" version is around?
Goatpig already mentioned about v0.94. It is being tested. For now, you will have to build from source.
So, preliminarily 0.94 has stabilized, but it hasn't seen much testing outside "the lab." I would like to invite folks who can build, to checkout the ffreeze branch (feature-freeze) and try it out while we continue our internal testing.

++ In 0.94 the Armory home dir databases folder should now be less than 150 MB! This is what we refer to as "headless fullnode"
-- All database formats have changed. You must rebuild your databases! (and we don't have a clean way to help the user transition from the GUI).

If in fact this is how Armory is why can't there be a setting to point that folder to another location? Why does it have to be on the local drive? Even if Armory is installed on another drive, it still makes these files on the primary drive. I run many portable programs. Can't Armory do something like that? And the chain is only getting larger and larger.
I did see your other comment in the other thread. Looking for the different switches I can use.

There are already options to do that. Read https://support.bitcoinarmory.com/kb/article/16-change-or-move-the-blockchain-database-storage-location-for-armory-and-bitcoin-core. Alternatively, you can create symlinks. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/
