Nice but really similar to GMK Bento.
Edit: Just realized its like GMK Bento but opposite lol.
Edit 2: Btw I love GMK Bento. I would totally buy this if it was the standard classic Latin legends or classic Latin with Hiragana/Katakana. (I'm not a huge fan of the Neue typeface to be honest.)
So, Bento Revival was my second-ever GMK kit; it has similarities in that the accent is pink over blue, like the bento mods. Furthermore, you correctly point out that the rose mods resemble Bento's accents. However, a few critical differences will be shown when I post swatch photos (when I get good light). Bento's Blue is in "uncanny valley" territory where the blue color shifts depending on the light, something the RAL Green Blue doesn't do. This is why bento was rough to photograph. Secondly, the rose is a rose that is darker and a bit more saturated than the salmon color used in bento. Also, the alphas are different.
As far as the Neue legends are concerned, I think a lot of the resistance towards them is because many people (I am not saying you, just from my reading on it) think Cherry and Cherry legends are integral to the hobby. I do not share that view (SA predates it), and I believe that change is a good thing for the hobby because it brings in others who might not like the traditional cherry design or want something a bit more modern. i don't hate the Cherry Legends, just think something else might be nice for a change. Also, left justified arrows kind of look goofy to my eyes.
Working on this a bit more, here's so more renders- Always improving.

You're right Bento isn't exactly alike. I suppose I meant to say that it is certainly inspired by GMK Bento (and that isn't necessarily a bad thing as I really like Bento).
Regarding the Neue font, to be honest it's not really about not liking change. I actually do like change but I also also really do like typefaces and there is just something I don't really like about the Neue font in my honest opinion that I can't really put my finger on. It just doesn't hit perfectly to me. Keycaps don't have to be cherry font to me either - I am well aware that the latin alpha typeface used by GMK for separate language options (and cadet) on real sets is a more rounder typeface that I also really like. (The exception being Zambumon adding the standard cherry font to Serika R2's Hiragana and designers use beyond - look closely and compare the real life photos of Serika R1 vs Serika R2, or Striker R1 vs Striker R2 for examples).
Honestly though, use what works best for you. To me GMK is the Cherry font. It's a classic for a reason. It's why so many other brands try to replicate it (like Keybobo, for example). It's like Helvetica for standard type. It just hits right. That being said, if you think the Neue font looks great go for it but I just think it loses some of its magic to me.
