The biggest pkus is that i have the monitor right in front of me and don't have to turn my head to the side.

I used xmonad s.t. each screen had its own virtual desktop (until I got fed up of its slowness and Haskell's cabal package management).

At least in my case, my screens are usually very centered and I sit far back enough that I never turn my head. shrug
