i think it all depends on how you stock your tank.
if you want a Zebrasoma flavescens stock the tank light, run a big sump and make sure you keep your levels up to par. personally i think a yellow is fine in a lightly stocked 75 |

Here's a link that may help you decide on the issue. Another thing that can be useful is to go visit an aquarium that has some and watch them for 20-30 minutes. HTH
