Shallow reef dimensions

Hello fellow reefers!

I'm just about to pull the pin on a new tank and my tank builder is nervous about some dimensions. I'm in Australia so please forgive the metic dimensions!

He is happy with following; (LWH) 1000mm x 700mm x 400mm - rimless made completely from 12mm glass.

He is nervous about the same dimensions except with a length of 1100mm. He want to run a 40 brace along the length (imagine eurobracing without the braces along the width). This causes a little dilemma.. the brace interferes with the overflow and I have large hands!

Can anyone with experience in similar dimension tanks input? What do you have, what have you seen, etc. I respect this guy and have used him for years - but he hasn't done a lot of shallow rimless builds.
 
1100x700x400 from 12mm should be fine.
This Screenshot is from the German DIN norm (not sure what the English name is). The lower table shows the required minimum glass thickness without braces and the upper table is with braces.
