Besides size, and side printed keycaps on the 750R, does anyone know any reason to get one over the other? I am currently looking at both right now. I am also open to suggestions of someone thinks I can get a better keyboard around the 130-180 range.

660c! Join the dark side! ;D
-
Honestly if I had the money I would just get a 660c or a HHKB but for now I just need a replacement for my 3 year old noppoo, I would use my filco but while I am at home the blue switches wake up people at night, so I can't use it. orz

The dark side uses tablet input.

If I wanted tablet input I have a $500 Intuos for that ^-^

Either should be fine.
You might have a problem finding replacement keycaps for the FC660M, not sure about the FC750R (do they still have non-standard space bars?).

The stabilizers have a non-standard spacing on the FC750R; you won't be able to change the space bar without modding the stems.

I won't be changing much, the keycaps on the fc750r look really good, at most I might swap it out for a Leopold PBT black set, so I have black keys with a white case.

I think you can get the board (750R) with black keycaps already on it can't you? Or are the options only white and navy? I wouldn't get the 750R due to non-standard stem spacing on the spacebar. You would have to stick with the Leopold spacebar no matter which cap set you wanted to use on it. Granted the Leo caps are pretty nice so I don't see anyone wanting to change them, but it limits your options. If you want a TKL then get a KUL ES-87 or another Filco.

Oh I wanted the white board, but with black keycaps, I found a PBT black sideprinted set made by Leopold also, so I might pick that up.
