Good points - I guess the Tamburino is very similar to a bin cage really, except clearer to see through. Fluffagrams seems to find bin cages ok. It probably would depend on the hamster but a cage would be great! Except for the cost
Maybe check out ebay for a second hand Kevin - the contents aren't that important if they're missing.
Although you wouldn't need to buy a tank lid and it would be more manageable than a tank
