1 1440p monitor vs 2 1080p monitors

I have got a generous budget from my mother for a new monitor. the 2 models I'm looking at is a 1440p BenQ GW2765HT and a 1080p BenQ GW2780. Here are the pros and cons for my situation:
Pros of Dual 1080p Montors:
-My PC Specs are more aligned with 1080p gaming (Ryzen 3 1200, GTX 1050 Ti) so it makes sense to be gaming on one, while having a second montor for web-browsing or youtube videos
-It would make more sense for video editing (since I'll likely be joining a focus program in my high school that teaches students how to make films, this would likely be a better option as I could better organize things)
-1080p-only content looks better on a 1080p monitor then a 1440p monitor that uses upscaling from 1080p to 1440p

Pros of a singular 1440p monitor:
-1440p will look sharper in most cases
-Better for programming (since I do a fair bit of that, having more screen real-estate will help)
-Will take up less space (2 27 inch monitors vs 1 27 inch monitor)
- Cheaper ($349.99 CAD for a GW2765HT, $409.62 CAD for 2 GW2780s)

Considering your use and specs, I’d say 1080p monitors. The specs won’t handle 1440p well and if you’re only making 1080p content, why upgrade? From what I know, the iPhone 10 only hits around 1080 while the Samsung galaxies can hit 1440p, but it drains battery quicker, so some people turn it down to 1080. There are probably a few other reasons I’m missing, but that’s just my argument.

seems reasonable. Thanks!
