Cool Multipe books of the same format

The situation. I create my own PDF files (using LaTeX). These are made up specifically for my 5" BeBook Mini. Recently, I bought myself a gift: a Pyrus Mini. This is a 4.3" reader and I find the 5" PDF's are slightly too large (as in: the fonts will become slightly too small to read comfortably).

So, I created another template for my PDF generation to generate a new PDF, specifically for that 4.3" screen. But I also want to keep the 5" versions for my BBMini....

I wonder what would be the best way to save both versions. Should I create a new Library, with only those 4.3" PDF's? Or should I add them in my current Library as a second book, with the same metadata? Or should I not put them in Calibre anyway and go back to my old system of having a folder I'll copy to that Pyrus? Any ideas?
You can have duplicate titles (just creates a second line item), then to differentiate between the dupes create a column that tells you 5" or 4.3".
