Is the 60 a standard 24inch cube? If so, I don't think mp10s will be wide enough honestly. They're good pumps, but IMO and experience, they're best suited for a 20 gallon long or 30 gallon shaped tank. For a wide(ish) cube, wider flow will be better. You'll get a lot of posts from mp10 fanatics, but I think you'll be better served by the tunzes here. I'm looking at a 6095 for my new build as well. An MP40 is another option, however.
As for controllability-- if you have a multicontroller you get a number of different options that will be sufficient for corals. You can also use a third party controller and that wil increase your options.
