Default Best cage for one Russian Dwarf?

I might be getting a Russian Dwarf very soon! well not very soon, but soon! :P I was looking at cages and i really like the look of the Peggy Metro or the Peggy Hamster cage as its good but not too pricey! But preffering the Metro. Now, this cage would also be for my current hamster, Milo whos a syrian - and no id be getting the cage sooner than the dwarf so i'd move Milo into it But yeah im buying it myself so cheaper the better, im not a fan of the new hamster heaven :/ and i dont think the old one will last long enough (until i have money)
Does anyone have any ideas? I will consider a bin cage but im worried about them chewing out of it, and id have to do it myself, and i wouldnt be able to do it neatly at all! SO i guess a bin cage is out of the question really :/
Can people post photos of their metros or good cages reccomended for both a syrian and russian dwarf?

It's advertised as a mouse cage so I guess it's okay for a small hamster. Some people have had issues with dwarves getting their legs stuck on the level though.

22cm is a fair bit of extra space but how much different are the other measurements? (height/width)

If your looking for something quite a bit bigger I'd say the HH is best as it's 50x80x50 (WxLxH) but I dunno what else to recommend because you don't like it :')
