I have a laptop (with stand) and a fixed larger monitor side by side. Obviously the laptop is good for trips.
2 monitors is useful: to work on one monitor whilst refering to or typing up an email as I go along on the other monitor, or to work in two spreadsheets / models simultaneously.
e.g.
copy data from one excel spreadsheet to another
compare previous version / current version
1 scenario vs another
working with linked spreadsheets
Would definitely recommend 2 as I think I work faster, but it depends on the type of work you do. Only seen people with 3 monitors in banks
