What caught my eye in the proposed font stacks is that the author paid attention to Linux - most similar stacks one finds googling around just care to compare Windows vs. Mac default fonts.
The size differences might be a good chance to try out the font-size-adjust property[1]. Last time I've heard about it was on this list in 2007 ([2] and [3]), but except for Firefox[4] I'm unsure about the browser support today... I do agree with David (and Baudelaire) too: mediocrity triumphs - but not in these stacks only, mediocrity and the whole web typography thing seem to be joined at the hip since ages ago.
