Ah, difficult, they are two different and incomparable concepts :) As they are now, I think the fonts reach the first goal: give the appearance of an old and used book. Which is cool.
For the second goal maybe there's no need to go to such lengths as you did, I imagine pictures of how those fonts looked in their time maybe exist(?).
