of course with the right know-how you can build your own, but i'm not one of those people.
the reason i chose T8 was because of its reputation around here, and i trust this community, so i bought one. one panel arrived cracked. when i contacted AP Cages, Ali responded right away and was extremely pleasant to talk with; i got my replacement within 24 hrs. Ali is a great person, and the customer service she offers is a huge reason why i would want to buy from them again.
the quality of their product is great (very light-weight, which is a HUGE plus for lil' ol' me; i can move it myself), plenty of options and add-ons to customize your enclosure, simple to put together, but it's their customer service that puts them over the top for me.
