I don't keep big pythons and I don't use AP cages but I can tell you why I like My visions.
Round corners...The easiest to clean poo out of
Roto-molded...I could literally throw them down my concrete stairs put the glass back in them and all they show from it is a few scratches,Its the same material as whiterwater kyaks for go** sakes.
The lamps have thier own spot... no need to worry about snake contact.
They're nice and light... I can move my 5 foot cages by myself

Some things I think could use some Improvement, I solved these problems by putting them on shelves.
The only way to change the lights if they're stacked is to move the stack.
I make pretty naturalistic setups so I do use some rocks in my cages, and big pythons can weigh a lot. I'm pretty sure if I did this and tried to stack I would run into a whole slew of problems.
Snakes can hide in the spaces above and below the glass not what you want with any aggressive snake...I solve this by using pipe insulation.

I people that use AP cages and love them but I haven't They look professional

lol I was spell checking and accidentally posted. Where was I..
Professional and look like they stack a better.
This is only based on the fact that visions were my first move up after homemade and I don't have experience actually using the other cages.

I personally use racks made by Jason's Jungle, the racks look great and hold heat very well. Hope this helps.
