I wouldn't say it's more spectacular than a good 24" display, nor less 
so - it's different. You do win the 3rd dimension, which is spectacular 
when cruising around near stellar or planetary bodies, but at the same 
time you lose the crisp view of the background stars and nebulae (which 
must be impressive on a Retina Display, I'd wager).
