I just bought an apple cinema dispaly 23'HD and I have both the 12(revC) and the latest 17 PB!As of now I am always using the 12' and I am just wondering if there is a difference that I will be observing, that will benifit me if I am going to use the 17? I tried it already and as a new user of a dispaly, I can't see any difference or I am not just aware.
Any output is appreciated!

No difference, but more VRAM in the 17" will provide better graphics performance. Also, the fans shouldn't turn on as much with the 17" when the large display is attached.

I am totally naive on this. What activities that will need more VRAM? I have a quicktime pro and love to play the HD trailer, does this mean that it is better in the 17?

Thank you for your time.
