There's a few other manufacturers, too...

Animal Plastics (I don't have any, personally) and BARRs (herpcages) come to mind.

I have some Visions. I like most things about them, but have similar issues as some other people - they do warp and have the upper/lower lip that snakes can hide in. The ridges that are supposed to interlock stacked cages together can sometimes get in the way of adhering UTHs and larger water bowls or hides can be propped up on one side by the ridges.

But - easy to clean and generally nice to look at. I like the sliding doors because locks for them are cheap, and the doors last a long time, and aren't hard to replace if necessary.

I have a few BARRs as well. They hold humidity very well because of the tight-fitting doors. Easy to heat from below, but not so easy if you want to heat one side (side material is thicker, which insulates more - only an issue if you need side heat like for an arboreal snake). But, the acrylic doors can warp and scratch.
