I use a 17" laptop with a 19" LCD and a 23" LCD attached to it. I honestly love the 23" screen a lot. It's not as big as our 24" iMac, but it gives good screen size for managing wordpress, illustrator, photoshop because the tools are on the side. But I agree, the only way to go is multiple screens. I am able to run the 3rd with a USB to VGA converter. Hands down best purchase I've made. I've actually got 2 of them and am often tempted to hook up a 4th screen.
