If you want what you pay for, I highly recommend Neodesha cages. I have 2 32" nesting cages & am definitely getting more. They are very easy to clean, they stack. They are not nearly as heavy as glass cages. You do have to mount two fluorescent fixtures inside but it's well worth it.
I'll get some pics up in the next day or two so check back if you want to see them.

Good luck.
Neodesha

They are difficult to hold heat. There are no sides to keep the heat in like a other tanks. They are great for outside in the summer tho.
Do you have herp shows in your area? They often have tanks there very reasonably priced, $1.00 per gallon.

IMO- getting the proper setup as far as (size, comfort, and proper settings goes) is the best thing you can invest in when it comes to your beardie - with the exception of a beautiful & healthy baby, of course!

It can be a little daunting when you are looking at prices to get everything you need, but if you can save up and afford it, it's well worth it - and your beardie will thank you!

there are quite a few people on here with a lot of suggestions on how to house beardies and some even have plans to make your own cage - which can be cheaper if you have the time and supplies.

Good luck with your research!
