Mono Monitor

Hello...
I do, mostly, mono audio editing and I read an interesting proposal on another website...
How about just using 1 monitor?
I thought about it for a second and couldn't think of a logical reason why I would need 2 monitors. Plus, I could get a higher quality monitor for the same price as I would have purchased 2 monitors (I'm looking at $300-$500).

VIs that output in stereo, when mono is preferred?

Hi all,

The kind of VIs that I'm referring to are the array of plugins like Stylus RMX or NI's Guitar Rig that all output their effected signals as stereo. But what if, for example, one was recording a bass part with Guitar Rig where perhaps a final mono signal of such a take would be preferred to be finally printed to tape?
