I went ahead and went with fleet boxes of the 2500 line for the Feds, Klingons, and Romulans. I also ordered a Hotz art 72" x 45" deep space map but went with 1.5 inch hexes instead of 2 inch. It is a trade off between total mat size and number of hexes. Although 1.5 inch is not quite large enough for the bases it is better than the 1 inch hexes of the map boards and puts more hexes on the mat.
Congrats! I also didn't go with 2" hexes because it took too much space and not enough hexes. I actually made it with 40mm hexes which I think is around 1.75"
I got 40mm square bases from corseceng.com which works really well, although a little expensive, but then they're easy to take on and off.
