I prefer the 2 inch pans. I can't seem to get a cake to cook throughly in the 3" pan. 
I am a 2in person. I collar my pans and get nice high tiers that I don't seem to have some of the issues that I've read about people having with 3in pans. I love like round pans for basic everyday use and love the magic line pans. I'd throw out all my wiltons if I could and replace them with magic line if I could!
I love Magic Line & wish all my round pans were ML. I use the 3 inch, and wish ALL my round pans were 3 inch! My squares are 3" & I just think they come out better! I was surprised to read your first two responses, maybe it has something to do with the climate, or our ovens... I have had absolutely NO problem with 3" pans. I have a 9x3" pan, and when a customer orders a 9x4" cake, I use that pan, and after filling & frosting, it's 4" high, I bake once instead of using the 2" pans. I guess we all have to decide for ourselves, and if you end-up not liking what you get - sell it on ebay? Good luck!
To bake in 3", I lower the baking temp 25 degrees and bake a bit longer. Also, hint from my mother, use a flower nail in the center of your cake. Will help it bake in the center - and pop right out - easier than the core.

I am going to have to try this because I am about to toss my 6x3 and 8x3 round pans in the trash bin!

Ditto.
I love my ML 3" square set. Wish all my pan were this configuration. Working on it. With Wilton, I have to use baking strips to get the cake to come out right.
I just got a set of ML 3" rounds from cooksdream.com and they were really reasonable and I LOVE THEM!!! I had to cook them a little longer but I really like my pans. I didn't know until they came that they were Magic Line and when I used them they worked beautifully. I am going to try that trick with the flower nail in the center.
