ARS OR FREEDOM BREEDER RACKS?

I've been using vision racks for about 3 years, before that it was DIY home made racks. I want to upgrade and I'm in a toss between ARS and Freedom Breeder racks. What are some Pros and Cons? What company would you go with and why?
Thanks Russ

ars. the freedom breeders have a lot of sharp edges that i cut my knuckles on. i like my ars 7030 a lot. i like the tubs even more with the deli cup holder. something else i have been trying are the sentec racks with ars tubs. they hold humidity a ton better, the compromise is they do not have belly heat.

the only negative thing i can say about my ars is the tubs rub on the rail beneath them and in less than six months the paint is worn heavily from the tubs scraping. just a little too tight of tolerance.

go with freedom breeder since they are closer. Both racks are very simular. The freedom breeder tubs are dark grey now so they act as a hide. The built in water bowls are molded in so you can stack tubs if you keeps extras like I do. The ars unless they have changed them are flat and will not allow you to stack them. The freedom breeder edges are sharp and will scrape the tubs but a couple minutes with some pliers and you can bend the edges down. I think I heard freedom breeder was also playing with built in hides, but its not needed in the dark tubs. I am switching all of my other racks to feddom breeder. If youd like to buy a higher end snake from me it will help that process

We use ARS and I really like it. No complaints after using it for a year. I've never owned a freedom breeder, so no input on that one.

I agree... Freedom Breeder now bends the edges so that's no longer a problem

Are you only choosing between those two companies?

I like my ARS racks. Also the customer service I got brought me back when the time came for 3 tier show displays and frozen rodents.
