How much heat do I want to get for a 150 gal tank? From my figuring I come up with 700 watts. Do they even make such an animal??

I'd say that 700 watts is likely more than you're really going to need. One of the nice parts of larger aquariums is that their heating requirements go down in relation to small tanks. More mass, less surface area. I think that a pair of 300 watt heaters will probably be plenty. I agree with Moneymitch on the Stealths, very very good heaters.

OK cool I was thinking bout going with the stealth. Do They have a light to show that it's on? Also, I plan to place them in the sump, any problems with that? Any other feedback on the stealths??
