Help me decide: 200 or 250?

Thanks for everyone's input, it has been very helpful!

We've decided to go with the 250 gal Marineland Deep Dimension (60 x 36 x 27)

Looks like the 300 gal (at 72" long will just be longer than I want for the room it's going in.) We had been looking hard at the 200 gal (50" long) but after everyone's feedback that longer is better, I think we're going to go with the 250 gal.

Anyone know of any reliable vendors online who sell these? Both of my LFS don't seem to have time to quote me the tank, and can't seem to get back to me. So I'm looking elsewhere, or may have to drive to another city.

 

if your not afraid of used, i have seen a huge increase in tanks for sale on craigslist. several large tanks also.
