Double bar finch with orange breast finch?

I have a 1.5m x 1.8 x 1.8 m cage with a lone pair of Orange Breast finch. They were previously with gouldians which have multiplied and the Orange Breast finch seemed to be coming off second best so I built another cage for them.
I would like to keep some double bar (owl) finches if this is a good mix? Or alternatively some Ruddies or perhaps all three species?
I have done some internet searches but I am hoping for some knowledgeable experience from fellow members.
Thanks
Winston

Ruddies,Orange Breasts and Double Bars are all peaceful species so would be a good mix so pair of each would be fine together but 3 pair would the limit in that size cage.

I agree with henery, I've kept them all in a flight with no issues.

I have a pair of Double Bars in with a pair of OB's. They seem to get along just fine.
