so I've been running eyefinity off a 6950 2gb for a while and the whole process has been plagued with annoyances. monitors that 'aren't compatible', issues with mini display port connections/adaptors and endless battles with the ccc setting up and maintaining presets.

What i'd like is if people that have been running surround, or preferably have run both, can tell me what it's like to live with? am I likely to have less troubles with it?

no it was definitely that, spent a very long time trying different adaptors, to finally have a technician use remote access to try to figure out the issue. He said the viewsonics tend to give quite a bit of trouble when trying to run with the DP adaptors. with me being orderly I had 3 identical monitors, so sold one and replaced it with an aoc and voila.
