I did something similar, for similar reasons. I found it easier to make a
LaTeX Template look like what I wanted than to force Org into generating
LaTeX that was what I wanted.

I haven't done slides yet, because I've not picked up Beamer and my
approach was more branding. I have once class that brand-matches my primary
employer (Font, logo usage, etc.), another one that matches one of my large
volunteer efforts, and yet another generic “personal” one for “my”
documents.

Though I'll admit this does sound intriguing.
