My main problem was that if anything took total focus on one monitor, I couldn't interact with the 2nd monitor. Never could get my mind to multi task with movies either. I was either watching the movie, or working on the main screen. That meant either not getting work done, or a lot of rewinding. For how little I used it, doubling the power draw for more screen space wasn't worth it. So I ditched that setup and I'm on a 23" 1080p monitor right now.
Of course ATI has come out with eyefinity since then, which goes a long way towards blending 2-6 screens into one. I'm looking into making my next rig triple 19" monitors.
Think Bitter has/had multiple screens as well.
