Something that you could do is just a wee banner (or a big one) warning
the user along the same lines about IE but still allow them to see your
site.

This is all too easy to achieve. There's a well known script to check for Netscape varients so that you can display a message when people visit, letting them know about their css broken browser.


A minor adjustment to that lets you have

<p class="ie_warning">Your browser warning message</p>

with your normal css file having
   p ie_warning {display: none;}

which is overloaded when IE is detected, including a css file that has (excusively, if you like)
p ie_warning {display: block;}


That, combined with browser detection, which you already have, lets you display big bad warning messages exclusively for IE.
