I think the answer to your question is that there isn't a way to 'paste to fit' but if you Command-T and use the Shift key to retain proportions, the option key to scale around the centre of the image, and the space bar to glide the image as you scale it...its possible to get it how you want it in one go.
Any scaling that is not based on 400% or 25% will resample pixels across two or more pixels, causing a softening of the image. If your end result is going to be 72% you'd be better off creating the master artwork in a x4 multiple of 72dpi so that the lines remain clean when reducing it.
I always work at 576dpi for a 72 dpi end result. That way its a good multiple of 72 to scale down nicely and it also allows for good resolution print from the master file.
- Nice tip man! I typically just add an Unsharp Mask at .9 pixels after resizing.turnerworks
