I also agree it's much more annoying with 21 vs. 22 - my Tele has 21 and it can be a pain when doing ridiculous high end solos in E, say.
What's everyone's thoughts? I don't feel qualified to comment either way (and I feel Ed Roman is a bit of a dick) but would love to hear the opinions of our resident technical experts/luthiers.
he is a dick

Sounds like you've only played shit Les Pauls then. I'm not an LP fan either, but a good LP has nice definition and sounds great for chords. Epi lps however, yeah, all sound like mud that I have played, which is a small portion of the global market..
That was in reference to a quote from the Ed Roman page.
I voted 22 because the nut always seems a little further away than it should be...
But...
I also feel this way about 25.5" scale guitars, this may be compounded by the lack of neck angle...
I own a 24.5" scale guitar with 24 frets that I am perfectly happy with...

The extensive explanation of node points is a wasted effort on Ed's part. Unless you only play open strings and the 12th fret, the nodes change as soon as you fret a string - goodbye relevance.

Hardly wasted. I'm sure he'll manage to get quite a few people believing it's important to avoid the node - and he might even sell guitars to some of them.

Two simple reasons: first, my fat stumpy fingers can barely fit in the 22nd fret space on a 25 1/2" scale guitar; second, getting that short an effective string length starts sounding really thin and strangled.
That's why I stuck with 22 on my Ash, even though I do like being able to get the high high e. for me, going from 21 to 22 frets was a muuuuch bigger deal.
Of all the responses, yours surprised me the most. With your talent and the musical genre you appear to prefer, I expected 29 frets minimum.
Mate.
36 frets call sweetly to me, but realistically I cannot answer.
