You may already be aware of this, but just in case you're not, the
Touch's LCD is higher resolution than the SB2/SB3/Classic's. So the
"width of the Touch display is only about 60% of the Classic" comparison
is misleading, because even with its larger fonts the Touch accommodates
a lot more than 60% of the text that the Classic shows with 'standard'
fontsize. I haven't measured it, but I would guesstimate that it's
probably around 85%. Definitely less than 100%, but nowhere near as bad
as 60%. 

Also, don't forget that the Touch has 3 text lines that are potentially
readable from across the room (depending on distance, lighting, and
eyesight), whereas the top line of the Classic in 'standard' font is too
small to read from more than a few feet away.

NB: For comparison I'm referring to the Touch's Now Playing screen that
is text only, with no album art. Presumably that's what someone who
wants maximum text real estate would use.
