Question Help me decide on 2nd tank

Hi all,

I have a 150 Gal main display tank but not full by far, have seen 2 tanks for sale in pet store which the owner made for show last year. Can you help me decide pro/cons please as both will cost around same price.

1: Cylinder 20"x30" with hood/stand,MH light and central tube to small sump below. 250 MH included and sump.

or

This is abit wacky but her goes...

30" long X 18" wide and 60" !!!! tall, yes i know long arms.
Comes with inbuild sump with piping to outside, ohh and a 400 MH (no surprise)

So Guys and Dolls which would get?

Yeah, I think I would forget about the 60" tall me too. If cared properly, it would be an amazing tank but you will get discouraged to clean 60" of glass each week. I have a 30" tall reef tank and find it a bit to high sometimes when I have to take something at the bottom, but 60", I'd get discouraged and if it was my tank, it would, over time, not look as nice as it could be. But again if you have the time and the patience to care for 60" tank, it would make something amazing, very orgiginal . Seahorses would be crazy in such a tank, it would be awesome.
