Put a hide and a water dish inside the tub, as well as a hide and a water dish and some fake plants and stuff outside the tub as well. That way your baby can get used to the larger space (which it will probably only explore at night when it's sure no one's watching!) But still have its old familiar tub when it wants. You can set up the uth and lights so that they keep the tank where it needs to be, and the tub will be fine. You can even set the tub half over the uth and half not, so that there is an accessible temperature gradient both inside and outside.

I really want to have it on display is the thing. I dont want to keep him in a shoebox/plastic tub! (that just sounds sad) I wont be breeding, just watching and hanging with the little guy.

If I go with something around 120g is that outside the "baby" ball python range that would be good for something like my set up?

So in your opinion, what should I return? they dont need overhead lighting at all??
