We used a cage similar to that when we had rats, but it was only 2 or 3 levels, since it was a lot wider. Basically just an altered book-shelf with ladders and stuff added in. Ours was a little less cluttered, and fairly easy to clean. Just make sure you do it regularly enough, or it'll have a lingering smell. Might want to put fabric down on each level or something to cop most of the mess, so you can just chuck them into the wash when they need cleaning, so nothing gets absorbed into the wood - which you should still give a quick wipe down every now and then anyway. Pretty neat and practical cage. We tried quite a few different things, and this one ended up being the best.
And about having a pair of rats, I'd strongly advise getting 2 females. Dunno if it'd be the same with rats, but we had 2 male mice once and they nearly killed each other within like half an hour of being in a cage together. The girls have always gotten along fine though.
