Spent last night trying my old 23" LG panel alongside my newer 27" AOC with the new beta driver. (expecting scaling to work)
No matter which setting I chose it just looked horrible due to them both being 1080p, and yet, different sizes/dpi.
So, I gave up on the idea of eyefinity all over again.

I had IrfanView open for another reason and while I was dragging a box around something I noted how it measures the pixel count.
So with the window spanning both screens I noted that 900pixels on my 27" was almost the perfect size of my 23".
(I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I wasn't really planning on it happening.)

I opened up CRU, gave my 23" panel a 900x1600/72 setting and rebooted.

By adjusting my larger monitor location in CCCs (moving the smaller one doesn't seem to work the same) arranging desktops option so
that it very closely resembled their physical location on my desk with their standard stands I was able to then setup eyefinity to a
standard I would be happy with (despite only 2 monitors).

Here's the end result, 3560x900 or 3560x1080. 900p would just be for the games that are badly affected by cut off UI elements.
It's a bit of a cludge, but I would rather look at this than full 1080p eyefinity across mismatched DPI.
Now the question is, do I track down another 23" LG or just buy some cheap 5:4s.........

Are all three monitors 1920x1080 ??

There's only two mate, trying to decide if I want another 16:9 or a pair of 5:4s.

Yes, they both have native 1080p, the smaller 24" is set to 1600x900 to match the DPI better.
