So I currently have a single 24" monitor and don't plan to get rid of it but to help productivity I'm thinking of getting more monitors

I don't want to spend a lot of money and my choice has now come down to this

Option A - One Large 27" monitor as primary and old 24" monitor as a secondary
Option B - Two 21.5" monitors surrounding old 24" monitor

I don't care about multimonitors for gaming (or i'd get slim bezel monitors of the same size)
but in your own experience is bigger better? or should I go for smaller but more workspace (all are same resolution)

Look I made a diagram yay!

Since you're not gaming, I would go for option B, because why not? More space for web pages etc...

 I would go with option B. 1080p doesn't look that great on 27". Also a dual display setup with different sized screens looks kinda stupid.

Molex to SATA, lose all your data

That would be a dream but I don't want to spend that much on getting a perfect setup

options B is actually cheaper than getting even 1 more of my current monitor so to me it's a lot more feasible
