I think the obvious answer is to keep both :-) But realizing that's not necessarily possible, if it were me, I'd transfer everything over to the 120, sell the 90G setup and use that money to pay for a new stand.

Go with the 120 Rob! More water volume = a more stable environment for your fish and corals!

120
Go with the 120 and make it an "in wall". Then sell the 90 and buy lots of new toys for the 120.

It's a no-brainer, the 24" of depth (the front to back dimension) leaves you WAY more aquascaping options. Always go with depth.
If it's a DIY built stand, it would not be too difficult to "dress" it up a little, if you're a little bit handy. For example, since the structure is already sound, you don't have to worry about the exterior providing any additional support. Thus you could go with a thin layer of plywood, stained and varnished, and maybe some cabinet doors. Or heck, do as suggested and build an inwall tank. Makes for a super quiet tank viewing experience.

Go with the 120g more room is always better
 We have a 120g and we bought a stand from petsmart for $240 a nice wooden one that fit perfectly.

I've always had 18" (front to back) tanks & now I have a 24" tank & it's awesome. Of course, now I wish it was 30" or more so that I would have more room to aquascape.
Seriously, having that extra space will open up many more options & your fish & corals will appreciate that extra 6". Anthony
