75 or 90

Outside the 15 extra gallons and a little extra height, is it worth getting the 90 over the 75,aquascaping would have to be a little higher to look good, right?

I have a 110 extra tall, the fish love the free space above the rock, the down side is it's very hard to reach the bottom with a 30" deep tank. I see alot more layering in fish behavior with the extra room, some thing more top, then mid and bottom compared to my shorter 24" tanks.

As for the 15 gallons imho more volume leads to slower changes in chemistry which gives you more time to catch trends. If you can I would always go larger

unless maybe your doing a tank that is specific to something then I go smaller.

I would attach a photo but I have no way to downsize it while abroad sorry.

The benefits of the 90 are the things you've excluded; therefore, the answer is no.
