Jim, I like one 30" over two 27" because the mouse excursion from =
extreme left to right is shorter and therefore easier/faster.  And I'm =
able to put my broadcast display closer to my workspace, which results =
in less neck strain.

I have a second workstation with only a 27" display, and it feels too =
cramped for all my palettes and tabs in Ae and Pr by comparison.
