Yes i think thats the way i am leaning maybe not proportional thermstat i am thinking Johnson Controls. It is just so expensive once you start getting everything and i would need a total of 3 cages. It seems no matter which way i go i would need the heat panels just for the ease of not having multiple thermostats in cage but the panels are expensive. My eventual goal is to have a set up i can stack so my whole house isnt taken up with big ugly glass cages.
