You, by your own admission, are going to eventually use the extra
functionality of a multi-sync monitor.  You therefore do NOT fall 
into the category of users I was talking about, and your points
do not apply.  To reiterate:  paying extra for features you cannot
use is dumb.  You paid an extra $200 because you figure that you
might use the multi-sync capability.  Someone who is never going
to use it should spend the $200 on something they CAN use.
