John, I love smallies too, so sympathize with your idea.
But there's a problem with SMB only: They typically cannot control BG numbers. Many times they are stocked with pumpkinseed or another low reproducing panfish for precisely this reason.
That's not to say you couldn't make a SMB/LMB pond work, especially with periodic restocking of larger SMB.
