Steve, I've actually had just the opposite happen. I have a 20" iMac, and I really wish I would have shelled out the extra cash for a 24". There is an issue with the viewing angle on the 20" iMacs that the 24" iMacs do not have. The vertical viewing angle is absolutely horrendous. When positioned directly in front of my computer, there is a noticeable difference in a solid color from the top of the screen to the bottom. What should be one solid color becomes a gradient. Yes, 24" is quite a large screen, but I would go for it because its image quality is better. I hope that helps you with making the decision.
