I have always preferred the Large Sturdy Cage from Suncoast over either of these other cages. It is very similar to the Madagascar Cage but is 32 " long by 21" deep instead of only 24" X 24". Also the Madagascar Cage has ramps and shelves that aren't really needed. And is 67 1/2" tall rather than 48". I do have 9 of them and love them!!
But in all actuality whatever of the cages you choose for\your situation would most likely work out.

I have to agree with Janet. I love my Suncoast cage. I did look at the other two, and felt that my girls would rather have all thar space to jump around in since they jump around as much as they climb.
But again, it's up to you. Your babies will be just fine.

That separating platform can be left out when putting together. I've recently read reviews and seen photos of setup. When I get to my computer I'll link them to you or you can try Google search if you don't want to wait till a little later today. I personally have had a Madagascar cage, loved it for many reasons, but back corners were hard for me to reach for cleaning . I also have currently large sturdy, love that even more, but also finding back corners for cleaning as well. Okay, I went ahead and got to my computer prior to cleaning the snow off my car, lol. I know you want to order today, my car can wait. Below is the link to the review, please read the entire thread and refer to the photos so you can get the complete idea of this cage. Critter Nation Cage Review I personally have preferred HQ cages, the only downside to the ones I've had is the trouble reaching back into the corners when thoroughly cleaning, and this has become a bigger issue for me as time goes by. The CN cage would be ideal for me, but the space I have now, the Large Sturdy is too large, I'm making it work, but easily startle my babies when passing through the door at times. Also, as I like the idea of horizontal bars, it would prohibit my use of water silos, which is my preferred method of offering water and at times have used for HPW, I suppose I could figure a way to rig, but the ease of use would be hampered most likely. Other than the reasons I just mentioned, I would strongly consider the CN cage for the next cage based on what I've read and seen in photos. I am not in any way trying to influence you to one cage or another, I just wanted to share my input on the cages from what I know. I've not experienced the CN cage personally, so can only go by what I've read and my thoughts about it. The HQ cages, both the Madagascar and Tall Sturdy are the ones I'm familiar with, and feel from my experience they are good cages.

I was intrigued it is cute, but the biggest downfall is the door size. Two 9 x 9 inch doors. A good sized glider safe wheel will not fit through those doors and I would be concerned about being able to reach all the corners to clean and set up cage.

I am glad I found this thread, was researching for my wife and I as we might get our first gliders and was curious about the Midwest Critter Nation Cage, model #162.
Great thread, the only thing I would ask is that if the original poster (OP) can add the models to the title it would be great for others in the future searching for information on this cage as well.
Thanks, Phil
