I honestly can�t stand them. I have used them on a few occasions temporarily and was glad to get rid of them. Feeder insects can chew through the mesh given enough time. I had a big ficus and a pair of chams in a 215. A few rouge crix were able to chew some holes in the bottom no problem. However they might have improved the material since then. Cleaning is also a pain esp if the animals poop on the sides, you really have to scrub it sometimes. If you only have one or two cages it�s not to bad, I would never house a whole collection in them though..lol. Spraying with water can be a bit messy too. I had to drape a garbage bag over the back to keep my walls dry. You will also not get the visibility of a glass tank if you are fond of observing. IMO I would stick with the glass tank. If you do get the apogee all mesh cage; def invest in the soft tray. It will help keep some of the mess under control.
