I am usually a home row typer and think the variable would be nice for typing.
My 86U when I had it back then was nice for typing but keep in mind that is 30g/45g/55g vs. the 87U 35g/45g/55g.
The 30g felt extremely light.
Did not like the variable for when I had to game.
I think it depends on what purpose you intend for the Realforce.
If you like Cherry Blacks and do not mind the heavier switch, I say go for the 55g Realforce.
They feel so crisp
