New cage for GCC

I've had my Green cheek for about 8 months and am ready to buy him a bigger, nicer cage. His current cage is 18"x18"x20".
I want an all steel cage with a skirt, wheeled stand, easily removable tray and bottom grate, and a dome/ fancy dome top. I also want grey or black coloring in a very durable (powder coat?) finish. Preferably in the 24x24 size range.
Where do I look? Who's the best to buy from? Any suggestions?

My GCC is 8.5" long head to tip of tail. The queen city pets place is only about 30 minutes from my house.

They were a little delayed sending me my cage (took 2 weeks to receive it) but otherwise they were great. We have 2 parrotlets who share this cage and I really like it -- great size and easy to clean.

As for a yellow collared macaw (love those minis!) I think you need something with 3/4" bar spacing. I'm looking kind of in the same boat since I'm getting a blue crowned conure. Personally, I'm checking Craigslist every day. One can definitely find deals there!

Since they (queen city pets) are so close to me ( abouot 30 minutes by car) I may see if I can pick it up.
