@Marco, I use a similar method.

Develop in multiple files, but have them merged for live copy. Having this added to a deployment script will make this happen automagically.Besides cutting down on the number of files, various optimizations could also be run — such as compression scripts for CSS and especially JavaScript.

Imo it makes things a bit easier to use one single file.

The only time I have two CSS files is when I have to add some IE only fixes. Those fixes end up in a second file which is only loaded if a IE user visits the site.
