Well... I've been using 68x142 instead of 62x142 since I posted this
in February and I'm used to the smaller font size. The only problem
I've run into is MXI when I exit some panels:
*******************************************************
* ISPV006
*
* Data truncation occurred
* Data for CHAR format variable "MXIBUF" was too long.
*
*******************************************************
MXI G2 probably does not have this problem. I may switch back
to 62 x 142 (6 lines less real estate isn't that much).

2.1.2 Terminal characteristics
1. ISPF supports screen sizes from 24 x 80 characters to 62 x 160 characters.
