i had a 17in lcd, ordered a dell. used the 2 in conjunction, wanted the same resolution, so i got my buddy with a 21 crt to loan it to me until i got another dell.

used the crt and dell in conjunction and i didn't have a problem with it, but quickly ordered another dell so they could match and that massive crt was killing me.

I don't think you'll have a problem, it kinda feels weird at first because different brightnesses/feels etc, but if you don't plan on getting a second 2001 anytime soon i don't see any reason why you couldn't work with this setup for a while. depending on the crt the refresh rate may cause some headache type issues, but if that is the monitor you've been using it should be fine.

just be aware that when you have the dell juxtaposed against another monitor, it makes you splurge and buy another dell.
