You've received some good advice so far but I have a couple of things to add.
Definitely don't put the 250 watt CHE in the Vision or any other plastic cage but do consider keeping it for the closet conversion you mentioned.
Absolutely wrap the cage in Reflectix if you can. If you can set the caqe on a thick shelf made of plywood or particle board that will help too. You could set the cage on Reflectix but it will compress and not work as well. You could also set the cage on a sheet of rigid foam insulation board but technically that is against code just about everywhere.
Inrease the thermal mass below one of your radiant heat sources (depending on which way you go). A big rock below the heater is ideal. Combined with the Reflectix this will do wonders, maybe even to the point you won't need more powerful and/or addition heaters.
