One of the first things I'd look at when upgrading to a larger tank is to somehow hook up plumbing to run directly to the larger tank. This simplifies things drastically come water change time.

The second thing I would consider is how deep you want the tank. Deep tanks require much stronger lighting, so more cost immediately and long term. Also, you will have a much more difficult time reaching the bottom of a deep tank. I'd look at a longer tank over a deeper tank.

The third thing I would look at is unless it is going into a basement, I would consider having someone inspect your flooring to ensure that it will be able to withstand the incredible weight of a large tank. I had our floor joists inspected by a qualified person who said it should be fine. I have heard of people having to reinforce their floor though.

IMHO - If you're thinking about a 90, consider a 120, same length and height, but 6 inches deeper, with an internal overflow it will take aprox. the same floor space. I have a 90 and love it, just wish it had more depth for aquascaping.
