I started adding SPS to my tank while it was still mostly softies and a few LPS back when it was a 48 gallon. Once my SPS population started to grow I could clearly see that there was some chemical warfare going on and the softies were not faring well, it was then that I decided to move into SPS fully and upgraded the tank for more space for my growing collection. A bit later on I ended up moving the LPS out as well (frogspawn and hammer corals) as I felt that there was still chemical warfare going on. My tank was strictly SPS for a time with a few zoanthids but now I have added some LPS back in (acans, blastos) as well as ricordea and most recently gorgonians (and another tank upgrade as well to 180 gallons).
I would try SPS in the new tank as I don't feel, personally, that you will be as successful with them in the softy tank as you could be.
