Help me decide! 6' frag tank, or 5' display?

I'm excited to say im upgrading to a bigger tank this year, but I didn't think it would be this hard to decide. I do have it narrowed down to these two. The Cade 1500 S/2, and the waterbox 165.6 frag. The Cade is 60''long and 24'' deep, the Waterbox is 72x16.

I want to be able to keep a mixed reef with tangs. What are your thoughts?

I have to say I love frag tanks, but the viewing of fish is so much better with a taller tank. I got tired of my frag quick

If it was me I’d pick the cade. To me the sacrifice of the length for alittle more depth is worth it.
