If we do all the important talks on the first day we can actually move

Ouch to people who don't get scheduled on the "important" day. That's just incentive for people to ditch early and not stay for the rest of the conference.

completely to the building with smaller rooms for the rest of the
conference and have 4-5 tracks of smaller talks/workshops/sessions there
on the day #2, 3, and 4. We would avoid the inconvenient pendling
between the buildings and also save money because we could rent the big
rooms for just one day.

I don't think the budget difference is a big deal. We've ended up having to pay for space the last few years anyway. I agree with fewer tracks at one time, but not down to only two, and I definitely don't like having a day specifically for "the important talks."
