MPPT Charge controller sizing

If I have 6 x 330W panels (with Voc of 40.6 and Imp of 9.76) configured as 2 sets of 3 in series and both connected in parallel, what size charge controller would I need if used with a 48v battery?

My understanding is that the 3 in series would create circa 120v at 10amps but then adding the other panels in parallel would give a total of 120v at 20amps?

Victron make a 150-35 that would be suitable.

For a few bucks more you can get a 150-45 and have a remote port and a programmable relay.
