Add a 6055 to my 65g, or replace all powerheads with a 6100?

I have a mixed 65g that has two 6025's. The flow is decent, but because of the height of the tank I can't seem to balance good surface movement with good movement throughout the tank. So to help with this I was planning on getting a 6055 that I can use to give some nice random flow in addition to the constant flow of the 2x6025's. The other option I was considering is replacing both 6025's with one 6100 or one 6101 with the cone from a 6200(1) on it. I think that would give a nice wide flow pattern in the tank. This tank is not BB, it has a thin (less than .5") of reef floor aragonite in it.
 
i might consider just a pair of 6055s instead. not quite as wide a flow pattern out of one but with two migth be able to hit more spots. I ran two in my 58 and was happy. If I did all sps I might have kicked it up some but for a mixed reef i think it might be the way to go..... my 2 cents
