I think they have both improved since their first 10 games each. I think nobody knows how much more they can or will improve. To say that this is what they are is wrong. Lots and lots of goalies mature later, and as for the 'adjusting to the North American ice excuse is getting old', why? Goalies born in North America and having their entire development on North American ice still usually take a long time developing into NHL goalies.
Berra and Ramo as far as I can see haven't given any reasons as to why they can't continue getting better and perhaps even becoming legit starters. They have both been better than any backup the Flames have had in countless years, and I think they have both been better than MacDonald.
Ride out the season and see how they are still doing. There is no rush to replace them - they aren't losing games for the Flames at this point by what I see out there, and their stats for the last few weeks have backed that claim up as well.
