It doesn't get better by guessing instead of understanding. The TeX  
Gyre fonts are derived (and extended) from urw++ clones of fonts found  
in standard PostScript printers twenty years ago. The Latin Modern  
fonts are slightly lighter (and extended) redesigns of Computer Modern.

By using a hammer instead of an ancient stone you can of course  
achieve by a similar process similar results...
