[ Rodents ] Open Question : Guinea Pig as my next Pet?

I got my rats last year at a local pet store. It seems like every animal I got from there died young. Well, my first rat has already passed, and now my second rat is going to soon. I am one of those people who can't live without a little critter, and I've been thinking about a guinea pig since I was little. I know they can be noisy, and a little ditsy, but I think they are absolutely adorable. I was just wondering what you think about guinea pigs, any suggestions or information , and also, if my rat cage (which is a fairly decent sized one) would work for a guinea. I'd say its about 2 feet long, a little over a foot wide, and 1 1/3 or 1 1/2 feet tall Thank you much! I appreciate any feedback.(:
