Closed vs. Open- Sided Racks?

I have 2 racks, both closed-sided. I am looking into expanding my collection and getting a new rack unitl (CB70).

My reptiles are in a heated room (75f or higher) and humidity ranges from 45% - 60% (I have a humidifier when needed).

My question for you guys, is would an open-sided economy rack be a good option or would it not work in my situation? Also, do BPs tend to stress more in them due to the extra light?

Thank you for your time and help!

I havent had a problem and I have both styles.
I also heat the room when needed.

You can go with the open sided economy rack, and if it seems to be giving you trouble, enclose the sides with insulation.

Open racks with work but remember that some open racks are a lot more wobbly than others which us to take in consideration.

AP economy line for example is fine for 6 quarts run, v18 and 32 quarts tubs, when it comes to bigger tubs (41 quarts) the rack are wobbly.

Thank you for that information Deborah... I definitely don't want to invest in something that will be wobbly and I will be looking at CB70 sized and maybe a sweaterbox size rack.
