We often have to run additional screens because of the mesh size...especially when doing half-tones. I would definitely agree with both of those solutions.

One trick we used where I used to work when you HAD to do small text is to actually run small text on a separate screen than the rest of the elements of the same color. This obviously isn't a great solution if your tiny text is a bunch of different colors, but it works well if you have one particular color that has big blocky areas (that require the large mesh) and small detail areas.
