It is a matter of design and concept. If you approach it properly your
page can look good at 500px or 1500px

Another factor that you are not taking into consideration when you shoot
for pixel-perfect design is what happens when the visitor does not have
the font displaying at the size you specified. BTW don't use POINTS for
display, use % or em. Or doesn't even have the fonts you specified on
their computer and a substitution is made? What of your design then? How
will it look on WebTV?

This is a newsgroup where issues are discussed. Folks here do web design
as a profession, I would expect their criticism would be both useful and
desired.
