"Trusted Advisor" on the AWS Console has been doing this for a long time, for several types of under-utilized, not only instances. Not only this but it also notifies you when you're reaching default limits so you can put in a support request for limit increase before you hit them.

You gotta pay 10% on top of your bill to have Trusted Advisor. (that's part of the pro support plan).
Last I checked there was no advice on instance size. I've seen one or two, nothing meaningful.
There are lots of advice for reserving instances though, and they are extremely poor. Listening to them would be a good way for us to waste $10k/month :D

The checks and recommendations aren't very sophisticated, though. E.G. the Low Utilization Amazon EC2 Instances check:
Checks the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that were running at any time during the last 14 days and alerts you if the daily CPU utilization was 10% or less and network I/O was 5 MB or less on 4 or more days.
