Getting another tank but dont know which to go with

[Warthur]

Hey guys,
been a while since I last posted on here.

The golden angelfish has been my grail fish for a very long time (favorite fish) and my guy got a small one in stock that is actually feeding (he has kept it for me for a month). I know that I cannot put this golden in my current 70g setup with my lemonpeel (too aggressive), so I figured I would look into another system.

I am deciding between the Red Sea 250 and the SCA 66 Rimless.

The stocking for the tank will be:
1) Golden Angelfish 2.5"
1) Magma Wrasse Hybrid (quality marine folks couldnt ID)- has been intimidated by clowns and lemonpeel in 70 so im moving him 3"
1) Multibar angelfish (has lived in LFS display with golden (45g cube) since golden arrived) 3"
2) Helfrichi firefish

dimensions for SCA: 32x24x20
dimensions for 250: 36x20x21

I feel the SCA package seems to be the better deal, though I dont know enough about it. Anyone have experience with this brand or model? If not, Im going to go with the 250.

Are you planning to keep coral??

Yes I am. Likely SPS. My LFS has kep the two in a tank with sps and there apparently have been no issue

If it were me, I would do the 36 inch red sea if your keeping coral. 32" inches can really limit your light choices if your looking for a clean look tank. T5 units will be short 8 inches or over 4 inches. LEDs allows you a bit more flexibility but most units are built to cover in increments of 12 inches.
