Say you're searching for some piece of information and the first search result is a cookie-cutter Bootstrap site. Are you really going to leave the site without the information simply because it looks like a million other sites?
Even if you've seen the same layout a lot, how much does it REALLY matter if the content is good and the site is easy to use and navigate?
As far as size and load, if you're committed to using the CDN to load the files, then you're actually taking a lot of load OFF not only your server but others, as well.
Loading from the CDN increases the chance of already having the downloaded library in your browser cache (from visiting other sites that use the same CDN) so it loads faster on the page and reduces load on your server.
Funnily enough "everything looks the same!" is actually a good thing, to an extent. It reinforces UX that people get used to and know how to interact with. How much has the classic bootstrap header become the de-facto standard, even if implemented with other tech? Same thing with jQuery-ui accordions, tabs, and dialogs.
