I know The Spruce says 24x12"/60x30cm for both Syrian and Dwarf hamsters.

Personally I would not be going by those measurements on spruce pets (i think that's who you are referring to?)
Have you seen this thread on the forum
Guide to Buying a Cage
If it helps, measure 60cm x 30 cm out on the floor and work out what you would put where, I am pretty sure by doing that you will soon realise how small that is for a hamster.
My Luna (syrian hamster) was living in a hamster cage 55cm x 38cm when I adopted her, I call it the hamster prison, just one look at a photo a friend sent me of the cage, I could tell it was far too small, it didn't even have room for a proper sized wheel.
I did a video on it, which may help you understand why I am all for the bigger sized cages.
