People who like looking at small, sharp fonts like the HM for all the
reasons you describe - you can fit more on the screen.  People who like
looking at large, sharp fonts like the HM because they can put the same
amount on the screen, but the fonts use more pixels per pica of height.
This makes for fewer jaggies and smoother curves, which looks much nicer
to the eye than the M monitor.
