I would say its a combo of all of those reasons. I've never had a problem with softies and lps at the bottom of my 24 inch high tank. But I did shock a couple of acros at the top when I first got my MH lights.
Robb, a 24 inch high tank is cool because it gives you the diversity to arrange your corals vertically as well as horizontally. You can put anything requiring higher light up high, its that simple.
