My setup at home is a Dell laptop that I use with it's built-in LCD and a Dell 18" LCD monitor that I have on a KVM switch between a secondary PC and a Linux box. I like having multiple displays because of the real estate. When you get to sit close to the LCD screen (not as bad on your eyes as a CRT) I find the need for a super-large display lessens. I'd buy the two just because you get more screen space for your buck, and also you may want to use one of the displays on another machine sometime in the future.
