Default Finally...a bigger tank! Design questions

Ok peeps, i am finally ready to plan and design my new bigger tank!!! Yippee
Let's face it, it was only a matter of time....hahaha

Anyway i'm going with a 160 gallon. 6' L x 2' W x 21"T three inches shy of a 180. but the 3 inches will help the wet armpit situation.

My question is this, for the overflow i don't want to have as much noise with trickling water as i do with my present 75 gallon. It has a regular derso overflow pipe, but for the 160 i am thinking of herbie style; anyone with opinions or experiense with them? I have seen them over at oceanic corals in vancouver and it seemed pretty quiet but as with everything there are pros and cons, so if you know of any issues or praises i'd love to hear them.
