Stocking 120L Help

I keep going back and forth in my mind regarding stocking my 120L (60x18x26) Mixed Reef, thus I'm looking for some input.

Looking for a variety of color, all reef-safe as well as invert safe as I have 5 different species of shrimp.

Tangs:
I already have: ~2'' hippo, ~5-6" D. Sailfin

I'm Interesting in:
Chevron, Brown Powder, Purple - Obviously not adding all 3 of them... I really like PBT but was told it might not get along with the sailfin? (The sailfin was in a 75g with a 4-5" hippo, and purple tang and were all fine), I know purple's tend to be aggressive so it would be added last.

Wrasse:
I already have: 3-3 1/2" mel. wrasse, 2'' Female Blue-Star Leopard (in QT/holding, haven't added her yet)
I'm definitely a wrasse fan, interested in a few more 'cool' ones (that don't completely break the bank)

Angels: Yes i know they are 50/50 reef-safe.... they would be QT'ed...then possibly moved to frag tank (so I can catch them again) to see if they nip softies, then to DT
-Flame Angel
-Coral Beauty or some other colorful dwarf

Others:
-I have a o/w clown and b/w clown - Might think about 'upgrading' them at some point, but they were my original clowns from the get-go.
-Chalk Bass
-Had a Dragon-sleeper Goby...haven't seen him for awhile =/ So possibly another/different sand-swifter
-I'd like a Midas Blenny
-Some form of cool Athnias
-Also would enjoy Copperbanded Butterfly and a Idol (I know they are both tricky)

Completely open to other suggestions - Kind of looking for slightly more 'unique'/colorful options...ie: dragon-sleeper goby vs. yellow watchman..... mel. wrasse vs. yellow coris
 
Bimaculatis Anthias male, rare enough u don't see them often, common enough u don't pay a ton to get one. Totally safe fish, just set up a feeder to drop pellets during the day.
 
That's going to be a beautiful reef - I just keep thinking that with a 120, I would be so tempted to just run a fish-only, or even a macro-algae tank, and stock it with all the fun fish that love (to eat) our coral! Wish I had suggestions... well, better, I wish I remembered the name of this beautiful wrasse I saw at Fish Planet the other day... lovely pink hues, pictures wouldn't do it justice. If I remember, I'll post, but good luck with the stocking - what fun!!
