I've got FCP7, and Premiere 5.5 on my laptop, but I keep going back to X. I imagine I'd jump back to FCP7 if I had a multicamera project, but I've actually edited a number of simple 2 camera interviews quite easily using the synchronize function. It worked quite well.
I haven't missed the second monitor.
If I have more than one clip stacked in the timeline, I can easily find the right frame by scrubbing with the T tool, or the B tool. This lets me quite easily see what's going on in each camera with the skimmer. Try it. It works quite well.
I still have a large list of things I want to see, but I've been seduced by it's power, and early next year we'll have multicam and external monitor support. I can still edit on FCP7 anytime I need, but haven't needed to for several months.
Life is good.

FCX. She tempts me, abuses me, beats me up, makes me feel worthless, then in the end she comes around, helps me get my work done, gives me hope and I can't stop thinking about her.
