I can't see where there are to many lines in one class. Dropping the
sample code from the renderer you're left with 25 lines of code, which
is a rather small class in my opinion.

There are two reason why I wouldn't go for overriding getCellRenderer
in this case. First, the cellrenderer returned should be specified by
the class of the value. It's much cleaner to go through a renderer
subclass in this case.
The second is, I simply don't like to subclass Swing components unless
there is no other way. 

Regards,

Bart
