I think with 2 30 inch screens you'd get neck strain. I've heard of
people having a 30 inch screen and two smaller screens rotated either
side (so that their width matches the height of the big screen) - which
means that you don't have a gap directly in front of you.
I have a 26 inch screen at home and this was as large as I could justify
to myself for the price. It has a 21 inch CRT beside it, but I haven't
felt the need to use it for awhile (not doing much coding on that
computer lately)
