Question Hamster cage advice for Syrians please?

Hi guys,
So when I first got Scrub she was in a Duna (not my choice, this was the cage she was given to me in) which was obviously too small for her so when I could afford to, I bought her a bigger cage which she settled into nicely and does love but she has got so big, I think she's bigger than a normal fully grown hamster - and as much as she seems to enjoy her cage I want to get her an even bigger cage so she has more room for herself.
I've heard about these big cages but know nothing about them.
Can someone explain the Barney, Alexander, Alaska etc. cages to me please? Smallest to biggest? Which are suitable for Syrians? Any advice you could give me would be great.
Thanks

Alexander is definitely the largest, it is huge!

Barney and Alaska are pretty much the same. It just comes down to the style you prefer.

I would go for an Alexander if your wanting a large large cage and you can afford it.

I bought my Syrian the Alaska cage and she loves it! She was in a Bristol cage which wasn't big enough but this has LOADS of space for her to run around. You can get it on Zooplus and they often have sales. Highly recommend it!

Alexander is 1meter long by 50ishcm long...!! It's my dream cage, nevermind, my fantasy cage ! I have dreamed of owning this cage and woke up to a heart brake... Alaska is 80cm by 50cm and you might find it's small, considering your hamster is bigger than average...

=)

See here for comparaison !
