To me, you have no need to duplicate code.
WMS serves images, and need a SLD to style the features, and you can
easily modify your SLD to show points with great size depending on
zoom level.

WFS serves objects, and the style is depending on how you write client
(ie: javascript) code.

Why you should use SLD to style client code, when you can use this?
