If there's demand, I can make another comparisson with another font.
Any particular font in mind that should become the new Haiku default?

I have uploaded another freetype v35/v40 comparing screenshots archive:

I agree with others that the new 2.7.0 font rendering looks thicker.

Look at the "a" in "Sort applications by name" for DejaVu old vs new.
I prefer old but I'm surprised how differently they render.
