LiFePo4 Bluetooth Charge Controller Recommendations ? **80 Amp** for 12V 560AH Battery

Hi Everyone,
I'm finally switching to LifePo4 batteries and decided on LiTime, specifically their new 12V 560AH battery with Low Temp Protection.
I also ordered their 60A MPPT charger with Bluetooth but now I'm having doubts the controller can handle my solar array comprised of 6 Kyocera KD185 GX LPU's, wired in a Parallel/Series configuration....
So now I'm looking for real world opinions on good (and simple) Bluetooth 80A MPPT Charge Controllers.
Here are the specs for the panels and controller, hopefully this will work because I already ordered all items :
As a reference, my current Outback FM80 is setup exactly the same way with no problems whatsoever, charging a 12v battery bank (Currently 2 Crown CR430)
-Panel Specs: Kyocera KD185GX-LPU (6 panels in Parallel/Series, 2 strings in series of 3 panels wired in parallel giving approximately 46Volts going into the Controller)
Open Voltage 29.5V
Short Circuit Current 8.58A
-LiTime 60A MPPT Charger with Bluetooth specs:
Max panel Input 900w for 12v, 1800w for 24v, 2600w for 36v, 3200w for 48v
Max Solar Input Voltage: 150V
Battery Voltage 9v-64v
Thanks, your advice is very much appreciated !!!
