That's like saying a Prius has merit on a race track because it will require less pit stops

I joke, but not really.

I never cared much for 1600P 30" since you are stuck with matte anti-glare and 60 Hz on all of them.

To a certain extent, yes. More vertical space = less scrolling when dealing with web browsers and Office applications. Also, the aversion to letterboxing (black bars on my screen yuck reaction) is way overrated. In the case of viewing 1080p content on my 1200p monitor, I'm not losing any video quality despite the black bars that appear on my screen.

Meh, I'd say it depends on the work. I can see it really helping in Excel and Project Management apps, but that's about it. For everything else one or two separate 16:10 monitors would be better IMO (and probably cheaper too).

Or 3 @ 16:10 - which works well for me

To a certain extent, yes. More vertical space = less scrolling when dealing with web browsers and Office applications. Also, the aversion to letterboxing (black bars on my screen yuck reaction) is way overrated. In the case of viewing 1080p content on my 1200p monitor, I'm not losing any video quality despite the black bars that appear on my screen.

Agreed 1000%. It's always better to be able to 'turn off' the additional vertical pixels than not to have them when they're useful.
