Really any case that fits a H100 in theory should support two H80's.
I love my HAF x and thinking about it you could go two routes on that. It comes with 1 200mm fan at the top near the far back. In theory you could A.) Mount one H80 at the rear exhuast and setup the second H80 in the the second 200mm spot (should fit 120mm, 140mm, and 200mm) or you could remove the the other 200mm fan and leave the 140mm in the back). That way you could mount both of them in the top. The other advantage is that you mount it so that the top fans are under the "hood" and above the chasis so that the fan/radiator/fan doesn't extend as far into the motherboard. This would also work the same way on the HAF XM.
The X and the XM don't have cage's perse, but they have quick swap bays. The XM's is easier to use but only supports 2.5 inch drives if I remember right. The X's bays support 3.5 but because of supporting both you have to screw them into the trays.
Just as an FYI that list seems old (2011ish without the inclusion of the HAF X on CM, which I am currently enjoying an H80 with).

Some links as to what the Arc Midi R2 can support. Should be more than enough for h80i

Yeah but it won't work for him. He needs to fit 2 H80's not 1. That only has one top mount and one rear exhaust either which would support an H80. But because of how close the top fan is to the the exhaust port the two would conflix when installing two radiators with two fans.
OP as a general tip what you are looking for isn't a case on the H80 support list. You are looking for a case on the H100 support list. Anything that supports the H100 at the top should have enough room that even if you can not mount booth of them at the top like the HAF X you should at least be able to mount the H80 at the 120mm fan spot at the top closest to the front of the case. Most mid towers like the Arc midi will have the 5.25" drives to close to the mobo to support this.
