Hi all,
I'm in the processing of getting a Maine Coon kitten. The litter is due at the end of this upcoming spring. She'll be a pedigreed Maine Coon who I intend to show. I'm gathering supplies to show and came across these two cages. Any and all help is appreciated!

I absolutely love the look of this one. I think it's adorable and would go well with my show curtains that I plan to make. I'm anticipating a female silver with white patch kitten, so I'm in love with the black and white look of this cage. However, I'm a little bit concerned about size for her as she's a Maine Coon. She'd be the only one and the cage does meet CFA recommendations. Sturdiness is another thing to consider, but I like the lightweight-ness, so if we're traveling for shows, we can get up and go without a lot of hassle. The price is cheap, which makes me a little wary. I'm a strong believer that you get the quality you pay for. I just keep coming back to it though. I love the matching litterbox too.

This seems more sturdy and I think she might grow into this one better. I'm not as fond of the color, but I can make do. This has better reviews, but people are still concerned about sturdiness.
Any thoughts or suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated. I don't even know if she'll be partial to showing yet, so I don't want to make a huge investment into the cage (~300). I am willing to buy a good one though (~200-250). I'm budget-conscious, but not cheap. I'm leery about using the show cages and I want her to feel comfortable, especially since I plan to show her as a kitten.
Thank you all in advance.
