I agree that metropolitan area sizes ought to be taken into account in any reimagining of the national passenger rail map. My dream criteria would be that a truly national system would serve the top 50 metros and it would serve the top 25 metros with arrivals and departures between 7 am and 11:30 pm, and that it would be possible to travel between any two of those top metros on a reasonably direct route (i.e., no going south when your final destination is north) with no overnight layovers.
