(Could be memoir offers more.)
Indeed it does offer many more font size options. My personal recommendation is to start learning memoir (it's a big, complicated thing) if you often need to produce documents with a complex layout. The common LaTeX classes are pretty useless for that sort of thing. Using memoir avoids the need to use a number of additional packages since complete control over things like headers, multiple columns, etc. is provided by the class.
