I use a 24-pixel bottom panel only. :-)

However, while you are mathematically correct in any case, the same is
not true perceptually. Due to the placement of screens and the eye's
tendency to scan top-to-bottom, pixels at the top of the screen are
perceived as being more prominent than those at the bottom. So even
though no more space is being taken, the space that *is* used is now
more valuable space... so the user does see a difference.
