Is there a good utility for resizing application windows to preset sizes in OS X?

Question

I've been using the Better Touch Tool and Right Zoom to be able to maximize windows to full screen, and to resize windows to the center, or top right / left quarter of the screen. Those apps are pretty slick.

What I really want is a way to predefine some windows specs and then apply that to a window. For example, the window could be 1024 * 768, or maybe it could be 300px from each edge of the screen.

I know the green button is supposed to choose a nice size for the window but it doesn't always work and with some apps (like TextMate) I'd just prefer to have a preset size / position that I could use.

I could probably somehow use applescript, but at times it seems to take forever before it runs so a native app for this would be cooler.

Thoughts?

Applescript for restoring default dimensions

try
    tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
        set s to do shell script "x=`echo '" & (path to it) & "' | sed 's/.*:\\(.*\\).app:/\\1/'`; sed -n \"s/^$x  \\(.*\\)/\\1/p\" /1/bounds.txt"
        set bounds of window 1 to words of s
    end tell
end try

bounds.txt looks like:

AppleScript Editor  420 22 1500 1100
Finder  0 22 960 587

Applescript for resizing to specific dimensions

try
    tell application "Finder" to set {0, 0, dtw, dth} to bounds of window of desktop
    tell application (path to frontmost application as text) to tell window 1
        set b to bounds
        set w to (item 3 of b) - (item 1 of b)
        set h to (item 4 of b) - (item 2 of b)
        set b to {dtw - w, (dth - h) / 2, dtw, dth - (dth - h) / 2}
        set bounds to b
    end tell
end try
