Welcome!
I'm pretty new to GH as well. I too, for a looooong time used a Model M. I recently damaged it by being careless, and eventually I'll get around to fixing it up. However, that set off a series of purchases which has led me to my Poker II. The Poker I'm enjoying immensely which is somewhat surprising. Like you, I favor a heavier switch, but the Poker II I purchased on a whim has blues. I expected them to be far to light, but really it is quite nice. I also have a couple of MX Clear boards, which have a very nice feel. However, they are both full size, and the allure of the 60% has pulled me in after working with such large keyboards for so long.
Man, once the M got damaged, my money started flying out the window. It is crazy!
