I'm not sure whether this one is better than the non-aa one.
Probably truth lies in between.

A trick that used to work quite well for me is to render
without aa but with 50% more size (each, x and y), then blur
it in Photoshop/Gimp/... (2-3 pixels) and finally scale it
down to the desired format.
This usually results in a very fine blur effect, less
than aa in the renderer, thus leaving many of the details.
