I think they'd be a nice cage for a royal, but I'd say you are on the right track with AP. They are nice looking cages.
Here is what I went with.

I don't want to confuse you further, but having a few options is nice.
I'll eventually move the royal to the top cage here, and get the coastal/carpet in a cage similar to the boa constrictor cage on the bottom.
You'll have some lead time no matter where you decide to go.
Another option is to look on Craigslist. You can sometimes find some great deals there.
Nice write up, and nice looking enclosure! I had not seen this particular brand before, so I appreciate the heads up. I'm big on customer service, especially in a competitive field such as this, with so many manufacturers out there you should be delivering the best possible service you can, and it sounds like Ed does a pretty good job. On the flip side I have read less than stellar things about Jeff and Boaphiles. It has not been my experience, but after a handful of similar complaints the legitimacy becomes more likely, which is a shame.
I really appreciate all of the replies, I have no doubt that when I do finally place my order I will be ordering with confidence. I'm sure what ever decision I make will make not only myself happy, but also my snake!
