I think a lot of it will come down to two factors as I see it. First how much panning bothers you. I have an 18 cell display and I think 24 would be maybe a little better and certainly 32 or 40 would be the best. However, the other factor is portability and ease of typing. THe Refreshabraille I have is 18 cells and that is probably as few cells as I could live with, but it is very portable and easy to type on. That is why I chose that display and not to mention it was the most affordable display at the time that would work with the iOS devices to my knowledge.
