I'm using TeX Gyre Pagella as the main font of a document which is typeset using a font size of 10pt. For the technical terms, I want to replace the default Computer Modern Typewriter with Bera Mono — mostly because of the dotted zero. The problem is that now the terms marked with \texttt{} appear too large compared to the rest of the text.
\documentclass[pdftex,fontsize=10pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage{tgpagella}
\usepackage[scaled]{beramono}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis non velit in ligula volutpat
condimentum. Now for some technical terms: \texttt{Phasellus}, \texttt{ultrices} aliquam
\texttt{nulla}, in imperdiet magna feugiat sed. Ugh, the technical terms are too large
compared to the rest of the text.
\end{document}
How can I tell (pdf)LaTeX to use a smaller font size (9pt?) for the \texttt{} parts only?

default value for option 'scaled' is '.9. You can set scale to explicit value, e.g.,
\usepackage[scaled=.7]{beramono}
