Need help figuring out resolution options for retina iMac with Fusion 7

I recently upgraded to both a retina iMac as well as Fusion 7, hoping that they would play nice together, but so far I'm pretty disappointed.

 

I have tried every option I can see, but none of them produce a usable result. I'm hoping I'm missing something and someone can point me in the right direction. I have OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and my guest OS is Windows 7.

 

- If I enable "Use full resolution" in Fusion and let Fusion automatically adjust resolution settings, I get a tiny window with tiny, unreadable text.  Fusion sets the text size to 150% but it's still too small (in all view modes)

- If I enable "Use full resolution" but un-check "automatically adjust" I can then set the text scaling to 200%, which produces nice legible text, but then I cannot move the mouse cursor out of the VM window without pressing Ctrl-CMD (which makes unity or full screen impossible to use), and the mouse tracking is off and does not work well.

- If I disable "Use full resolution" I get windows and text that look like the right size, but the text is blurry and causes eye strain.

 

So, please tell me I'm missing something and that there is a way to set up Fusion to get reasonably sized text that is crisp and legible?

 

Thank you
