Two Evo 750's or one 750 and one 1050?

Thinking of upgrading my powerheads. I have a 55 and intend to mainly have LPS and soft corals, though I wouldnt' mind have one or two SPS. I was going to go the route of an Evo 750 and an Evo 1050, but now I am thinking it might to be too much flow. Would two 750's be better?

I just put 2 of the 750's in my 40 breeder along with a k-nano and the new k-nano 425gph all that paired with my return pump which is hitting around 350gph. Its a good amount of flow, but the evo's are a pretty soft flow. When you hold your hand about a foot in front of it the flow is really spread out and doesnt feel like a lot, so I dont think 2 of the 1050's in your tank would be too much at all.
