I wouldn't mind the extra fonts sizes as long as it isn't just extra big sizes that I could do without but rather finer font size jumps than the 505 already has.
On a few ebooks medium is a little too small to be comfortable and large is a little too large to read properly.
Agreed. It does vary from book to book. For 8 out of 10 books, Medium is the size I need, but occasionally I'll find a book where I have to go to Large to get the same effect. I tried RSS feeds for the first time yesterday, and for those, Large wasn't big enough to be comfortable. Hopefully a future firmware upgrade may be able to add the extra sizes to the 505.

There is a warning in red ink on the download page that the upgrade is only for the US and Canada only. I wonder if this is just a legal disclaimer or if different eReaders are shipped to the UK and this ugrade will blow them up or something.
