The more I think about it the more I believe you are right. At 470gal+ it has become twice the system that I had anticipated. Money is not the object, the WOW factor and my own ability to maintain it is the object. I emailed them to find the price at 60x36x36. I still want a "tall" tank and plenty of width to scape. I think this would still be a WOW display and allow me to have a wide variety of inhabitants. Man, I really need to make up my mind, don't I?
My LFS has a 230 for their main display and although it is gorgeous, It looks very cramped inside and there is almost no room in front of LR for sand. Maybe it's the way they scaped it, I don't know. I'll post the other quotes when they arrive and then I'll give "my final answer" as to what size so that I can get back to planning.
