Having had a lot of them there are some drawbacks.
Plastic is rigid and can crack.
A 4' cage has NOWHERE near the floor space as a comparable Vision.If I remember right the interior usable space is only 18" and they arent really a usable 48" the interior is something like 45" or 46".
The glass is heavy and more unweildy to remove and clean than a Vision.
Heat pads and sometimes urates can discolor.
Full spectrum lighting makes the plastic brown and a bit brittle.
The new ones don't seem to yet be able to be gotten with light vents and air vents like the old makers.
The slant front is sometimes an intrusuion to an animal that can sit back further from the glass front like a Vision or Boaphile etc.
I have found the Visions to be MUCH more rugged.And take less space to store when not in use.You could throw them down your cellar steps and they'd be fine.
The locking for the Visions is more secure. The Neos have a pin and as you get the larger cages the glass is a bit heavy to slide. I find the Visions much easier in that regard.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
