I missed this 1st time around and I prefer the addition of the F-Row, that said, this is a good design and I am interested.  My perfect board would be this layout with the addition of 4-6 macro keys on the left.  If the macro keys were added, the F-Row I could live without.

Wow, I love how the bottom of the wrist rest and the top of the case both poke out in similar ways!
