Either go 2 * 19 + 1 * 27 or 2 * 24. I don't think that 1 * 27 is going to cut it, particularly if you're doing GUI development. I don't feel that the consolidated workspace makes up for the loss in total surface area. My setup currently consists of: iPhone dev: 24" + 13" MacBook, Vim, XCode, and iPhone simulator. 17" Linux, using Synergy with the Mac. Browser + shells. Plus stuff like email, etc, because I detest the Mac OS UI (sorry guys). Android dev: When I'm doing Android work, I disconnect the MacBook and run 24" + 17". It's is not bad, but 2 * 24" would be even better, particularly when testing large/hi-res devices in the emulator.
