Do your coastals like the upward space? I hear jungles are the most arboreal of the 2 mentioned here.

Yes, my 3 Coastals made/make use of any upward space.

It was somewhat of a mistake going from 4x2 to the 6 foot T-25s because they are only 18" tall. So I moved Etta, the smallest (6.5-7 ft) back to a 4 x2.

I originally was going to get 6x2x2, but I got a good deal on 2 new T-25s on CL. I now wish I waited.

But I ordered shelves and Mack and Lizzy really make good use of them. And they both really take advantage of being able to stretch out in those 6 foot cages.

The number one best improvement was adding skyhides. None of my Carpets will use hides on the ground except on a rare occasional shed.

All four use their Skyhides extensively, especially for hunting in ambush mode. They will hunt for days and rarely move. It is amazing behavior to observe. In fact when they are in hunt mode there is no way I'm reaching for their soaking bowls to clean!

I decided to go all out for my Jungle since she never ever used the ground in her old cage except for soaking. Now since she has lots of options, including belly heat for the first time. She does use it after meals sometimes. I find her using every aspect of that big cage. Money and space well spent!
