I can't resist using both displays.  I have built custom hangers to 
suspend the 23" display from the ceiling with steel cables(nice to 
have a dad with a machine shop), then have my 17" directly under it 
and running in dual display mode.  Acres of display real estate.

The 15" was somewhat nicer for this configuration because of the 
cables coming out the back, but the 17 of course max's out the 
display.

Al of the versions of 10.2 that I have tried work with dual displays.
