Kitedemon has answered you setup questions very well. I can tell you that you will love haing a Herpstat. Easy to setup and just work well.
As for your cage I think that is a move looking cage. I would just put that on a table or build a stand if you handy with tools.
www.boaphileplastics.com/cages.html also has nice cages that would stack easily. You would have to cut a hole and secure some screen to it if ambient temps aren't high enough though. I would mount Deep Blue LED lights in it and put them in a timer though. They may provide enough heat to raise your ambients to the correct range. You could use a fluorescent for day time light as well and that would also raise you ambient. They would of course have to be mounted inside the cage which requires a little planning and searching for the right lights. Often we have to adapt everyday items to make our setups work. Pet stores rarely carry what we need (where I live at least). If mounting internal lights works for you then you have a cage that can stack just in case you want more than one. (They are quite addictive). The cage you found looks great but looks like it needs a special stand (expensive from the manufacturer). It will work fine for one and require less messing around.
CHE's do lower your humidity but substrates like cypress mulch or coco choir help battle that. That is why personally I would try to mount a little lighting inside. (No Tape inside the enclosure ever). Without the CHE you will have no issues with humidity. It will be easy to maintain.
