I could revisit that decision, but I've already got a layout that's a derivative of Book, so I'd like to have a lot more reasons to go Koma than just the title page. If the only benefit is just the title page, I'd rather fine tune the title page with voluminous ERT the way I do my copyright page.
Steve, The Koma-script classes offer many improvements in terms of flexibility over the generic classes. You'd have to review the manual to decide if it's worth your while to use them.
Would Memoir do the same thing?
Probably. I read the Memoir manual a couple of years ago, but haven't done any writing with it. Springer-Verlag provided their own monograph book class, so that's what I used for my book. Other book-type writing I do is done with the Koma-scripts because they give me enough flexibility. My priority is content, and I much prefer to let those with greater knowledge and skills in typography and page layout do their thing so I can just plug in my text and correct overfull horizontal boxes. :-) Rich -- Richard B.
