Need help with Tang choice!

All you Tang lovers I need some help! I just got the deal of the year but I have some choices to make so need your input.

A local eye doctor's office is getting rid of their 120 or so Red Sea tank (about 4 years old). All equipment, livestock, etc will come with. I learned about it from a professional reef keeper that helps me out from time to time. All the fish are super healthy but there are way too many of them. Especially Tangs. I'm literally getting everything for $2500!

So, my dilemma is which Tangs to keep and which have to go?

I've attached the only photo I have. I don't even know everything that is in the tank yet. But I do know there are:

2 blue tangs
1 powder brown tang
1 powder blue tang
1 black tang
1 purple tang
1 yellow tang

Plus:
several clowns (Maroon and Cinnamon)
1 Moorish Idol
1 Longnose Butterfly
Looks like some kind of Wrasse
...?

The fish that are definitely staying:
Purple Tang
Moorish Idol

The fish that are definitely going:
Longnose Butterfly
The Clownfish

Considering all of these fish have lived together for over 2 years and get along fine what are your suggestions on which others to keep and why?

Thanks!

Blenny punking the tang for the sheet/food lol. It doesn't know its size haha.(sometimes the blenny gets wrapped up in the full sheet and tumbles around if caught in the powerhead current LOL, I only have a suction cup clip and the tang is too strong so i don't bother)
