I definitely would love a large South American community tank. A group of uaru, a pair of true parrots (hoplarchus psittacus), some festivum, definitely a school of geophagus sveni, and a breeding group of the larger plecos like L025
Top cichlids you must have

Never done a planted tank .... would love one but I think 500 gallons is to much to start with a planted
Tank 1
A pair of wild oscars
10 pink tail chalceus
20 metynnis lippincotianus
7 banded or 3 spot leporinus
Tank 2
Furnished with lots of branches and twigs

12 Bolivian rams
Large shoal of headstanders or pencil fish

well the first and most obvious thing to do with one of those tanks is to box it up and ship it to me. you definitely dont have time for two big tanks and dont need the hassle of trying to sell it so I'll take it off your hands free of charge lol.
first tank an umbee pair. or a mff red terror group with maybe a lima shovelnose cat or big pleco.
second tank would be a community. severums, acaras, a couple plecos, silver dollars, a shoal of ornate pimelodus and a group of geophagus for sure. if its a tall 500 a school of chalceus or brycon falcatus would be really impressive for the topwater.
