That's a good description of the Hepps area. I'll just add that I find the area between Hepps PL and Hepps wall, though a healthy swim, more interesting than average. In many other areas, that in-between area is just a sand plain with little of interest unless you just really, really like garden eels.
At Hepps, there are some nice coral heads at 80' on your way to the main wall, at least one with a swimthrough and chimney, and it actually is a more gentle slope down to the main wall with stuff to see along the way. The wall is also not a sheer drop, IIRC. You're still on flatish sloping bottom at 160'-170' with some gigantic sponges that are very cool. I like that area a great deal but as @ian.b points out, in the winter you take your chances. I was there 3 weeks ago and wasn't able to do a single shore dive.
