The 'compromise' sentence you've mentioned sounds fine when I read it out loud. I don't usually think about that kind of thing because I so rarely read aloud! (Yet. Cody's starting to get to the age where he actually pays attention when you talk to him, which means I can start reading to him!)
It's so interesting to see how everyone phrases things, though. I'd have probably expressed the same thought with "but he was no taller than she was."
