2005fpw or another 730B?

Right now I have a pair of 17" Samsung 730B lcds, and one 15" Samsung lcd. I am giving the 15" to a friend, and planning on replacing it. I can either snag another 730B for around $250 or so, or grab a Dell 2005fpw for the center monitor for about $400. I like my 730B's right now, as they have no dead pixels, but I have been wanting to go for something bigger as the center monitor. From what I hear the 2005fpw would be perfect, as it is simply wider, not taller than my 17" lcds. I am worried, however, that the Dell might have dead pixels and such, and would become a big hassle. What I am asking is, is the 2005fpw worth the additional $150, or would another 730B and $150 in my pocket be a better choice?
 
I'd go for the 2005fpw. Those monitors are awesome. Could also check out the 930B. Rebates bring those into the 350 range or around there and you could just return it to best buy or some place if you're unhappy with it.
