If you are working on an application on the left monitor and need to access a menu item you have to mouse all the way over to the middle monitor and then back.
If you're using it more than 10 times a day you shoud make a custom keyboard shortcut using the "Keyboard" preference pane or one of those custom apps.
I find the menu bar a very interesting part of the Mac. It gives visual identification on which app has focus, it is mechanically easy to access (just throw your mouse arrow up, no aiming), doesn't pollute the document window. I learned to see it more as a "reference" point (what's the shortcut for doing that?) rather than something you should rely on.
