I didn't follow the discussion completely, but Memoir comes with 
multiple size options: 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 17 pt. I believe that it 
will load Computer Modern at the right design size (and other fonts at 
the right display size). Especially the 9pt is good when you're fond of 
Lucida, although the interline spacing is a bit too small to my taste.

I don't know how hard it would be to use these .clo files with other 
classes, let alone the standard classes. It might require some serious 
hacking.
