I think I get it, these must be non standard oversize cages. I would think of a different arrangement. Different bottles, different cages, third cage, whatever. While I doubt the Kleen Kanteens are going to break, there's a danger they could fly out of the cages if not fully engaged. Besides that, the klanking sound would totally drive me nuts.
