Well, I agree 100%, but as you say the software currently doesn't allow for the user to change how much/often it hyphenates. I only did what I did with my "modern" text, because the amount of hyphenation in it was actually quite disconcerting and rather interfered with the flow of my prose. However, with that said, I was also quite reasonably liberal with my allowing hyphenation on any words that were problematic, and when doing so did not dramatically interfere with that "flow". And like I said, having tested the entire text at multiple font sizes, I do think that it actually worked out quite well.
