Yeah, but what I'm asking is, if you would like the screen space of a 24-inch display (1920x1200), could you really settle for that of the MacBook Pro's (1440x900), which is two notches lower?

As for Remote Desktop Connection, it is rather fast on local networks, but if you have to connect via the Internet, it will be barely bearable. I wouldn't recommend that solution. Of course, virtualization through Parallels, or installing natively via Boot Camp is another solution that won't suffer network latency. For engineering software, Parallels is probably more than fast enough.
