Wouldn't the extra crispness allow you to use a smaller font than you normally would? I understand that the OS defaults are going to be the same visual size, but there's nothing stopping a user from choosing smaller fonts.

There are lots of tools that let you adjust the system fonts, TinkerTool and Onyx come to mind. You may see quirks in some apps that expect the standard font and sizes.
