p { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;}
I also have standard 1em font size in both books

So in sigil they look identical, ditto on Sony device , but on this new Kobo they look noticeably different - one book appears in a much "nicer" font than the other, and at a slightly different size. I have set Kobo font option to use original document font, I can't see what else to tweak to make them both display the same

so what is going on here- any ideas. I much prefer having all my converted books appear with a standard font & font size...
Best advice is to remove all font-family specific statements from the CSS and choose your font from the Kobo font menu -- either one of its built-in fonts or your sideloaded ones -- have you read up on how to do that, yet? You need to get the filenames just right.

There shouldn't be any problems with any hard-coded font-size: 1em CSS.
