C'mon! It shouldn't really matter whether the character is 75 or 82 pixels 
tall. 

If you look at the doors I made for the cellar, they are not even 30px high, 
but you don't notice that the character is taller than the door. So the 
characters could be slightly larger than the scenery without anyone noticing.

Besides, I imagine the new res characters will differ more in size than the 
old ones, which where all 30px tall (save Dwarves and children). So an Elf 
might well be 85px, whereas a midget yeti would be no more than 45px.

As everybody seems to agree, the numbers we come up with should be 
guidelines, nothing else. So I would say an average character would be about 
two tiles tall, ±5px. The rest we should leave to the artists :).
