I purchased a SLI capable MB because I enjoy triple screen gaming. FLight sims and racing sims are very nice with super wide fov and trackIR. I am not rich so I build my system a piece at a time.
I don't want to keep using softth (as great as it is) because I want a hardware solution (nVidia 2D surround is what I'm shooting for [ requires SLI] - just need 1 more monitor [or 3 new ones possibly  ]). MatroxTH2GO had more limitations than just buying a 2nd card. As I understand it the super multimonitor nvidia cards are 2 GPUS in SLI mode on one card so I am not left with many options...
So there are valid reasons for SLI setups (even if you enjoy flight sims).

Sure, i'm not saying it's wrong or bad. What i was trying to point out is that it has been historically troublesome to implement properly in our gaming genre, so i'm not willing to purchase a setup with a history of under-utilization, unless i have no other choice.
Like your example illustrates, gaming on multiple monitors with specific cards may be one of those "no other choice" cases obviously and nobody can blame you for going with it.
For single screen setups however, i feel like setting myself up for trouble if i decided to go for SLI and will always prefer a single card.
