Which switch in Zealios compete with Cherry MX Browns?

Which switch has almost the same force as a Cherry MX Brown or a Gateron Brown?

I want to try Zealios, but I want them at the same range as Cherry and Gaterom browns. :D

Closest would be 62g zealios. I believe bottom out weight on an mx brown is 60g.

The click will feel the same.
What is different is the spring force curve. Cherry springs tend to remain relatively flat all through travel while the 62gram spring will start softer and end stiffer, meeting somewhere in the middle.

If you just mash keys, it won't matter much, but if you touch type it can feel quite different.
