Which cage is better for canaries: peaked roof or a flat-top cage?

Question

My Canary, Ringo, has a Cage that has a peaked roof, like a house. I have a chance to get a Flat-topped roof, larger cage. Which type of cage do Canaries like? I prefer the house-style cage, as it is more attractive. But, I realize Canaries don't know about their cage being attractive. Ringo would be able to fly more in the larger cage. Is the Peaked Roof just a Personal, Human Preference? And, Not the Canaries? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered

It is best to go with the cage that has the most horizontal flight space. Peaked cages are OK looks-wise, but make sure it is safe and feet and wings can't get caught where the edges meet. Avoid round shaped cages as well as it can sometimes stress birds out to not have a corner they can hide and relax in. Any cage should have enough room to move around a bit, have some toys for enrichment, and have a place to quietly rest aside from food and water locations.
