I'm stuck on Tank Size "LLx24"x22" (Nothing else would make me happy....I think)

No matter what I try to change/adjust, I can't see myself happy without going LLx24x22.

However the price to get an External Overflow, Starphire on 2 sides, and EuroTrim puts the tank out of my comfortable price range with 48" width.

One better price alternative is instead of 48" , I can go 44" Length (Bonus is I get some desk space back)...(The downside, is I no longer would look straight into tank from Chair).

The only other drastic choice is just to go Marineland Standard Tank 48x18x24 (Drill a hole, re-use my internal overflow) which saves me a ton of money

The burning question for me, is will I be happy (with just 18" depth) afterwards , and for next 10 years...... after putting in all that work to do the upgrade.

The 18" Depth really bothers me (but that's the size of my Kitchen Tank [48x18x24] and it does the job, but hard to place corals).

So I'm thinking 44x24x22 (which put the tank at approx. 100 Gallons)
