Two point:

* Horizontal space counts for a lot -- you still can't easily set up
more than two flat-panel displays on most desktops.  Heck, the desk I'm
currently using has a 19" monitor, but it certainly couldn't handle two
15" flat-panel monitors.

* Yes, I'm aware that prices have come down a lot, but the equivalent
flat-panel display is still twice as expensive.  And I *won't* buy
anything at Fry's.

I have to admit that I'm seriously thinking about an iMac, though.
