I would appreciate some opinions on the aquascape for my new build. The plan is for SPS dominant. Is there too much rock? Is it too high? Would like to start glueing/epoxying the rocks together today.

I like it! I would add a little more and maybe one going across the top from one rock to another to create a cave but overall well done it's looking great will be even better when you fill that beauty up.
 
It looks good! I like what scape mentioned, but I think it would also look nice if there was an arch that went from back left to front right like this

I actually like it exactly how it is. I don't like a ton of rock (I prefer to let the coral fill all the negative space) and I like the two islands. Looks good!
 
I love this, I'd definitely keep the islands separate. I'd love to see how the left island would look if you turned the whole structure 90 degrees clockwise! I think the cove at the front would look really cool
 
Looks good, only thing I can say and it's because I'm not sure from the pictures. But leave room to clean the back glass. Remember once things grow in you will still need space back there.
 
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I played around with it a bit more but did not change too much. I did want to keep two separate islands and I did make sure to leave enough room at the back to clean the glass and overflow. I tried rotating the left island but thought it looked too symmetrical with the other island. Here is the final product:

sweet. leave it! +1 on making sure you have room to clean all around the rocks. otherwise looks awesome
 
Love the scape, tons of character. Glad you didn't use my idea :p
