I don't mind the wait.  I've slowly putting together my parts for the new system.  I had originally planned on a stock "reef ready" 48x24x24 (120).  I know Oceanic does custom work, but the costs start to creep in, and the wait, as you mentioned. 
 
If I went with a custom tank from IA or someone, I'd probably bump the front-to-back depth to 28" and do  it with eurobracing and starphire glass.
