I agree, the recent tab is a little much. You have minutes and hours showing again. You had it shortened to M,H and D...fit much better. I had it tweaked before so that just the name of the person was the larger font (1.5) not the time, miss/received text. I found it to fit nearly all my contacts that way.

I do love the new messages interface fits nicely.

I do think that having the contacts a little larger would be beneficial ( at least in my eyes/thumbs)
