Many new comers want backlighting, but it's rather overrated. Learn to touch type and it's completely useless.
There is nothing wrong with browns, it's all in the switch you prefer. Some people say that blues are best for typing and reds are best for gaming, but I feel thats really just a misconception. IE, Reds can work fantastically for typing if you don't need any tactility.
I prefer browns because: I like to have the slight tactility, but don't want any of that clicky nonsense to get in the way whilst being more aggressive.
Basically, don't read into a certain switch 'not being so good' and find the one you would prefer for your own uses. They are all great.
Clears are MUCH heavier than browns and therefore you might be looking at more finger fatigue depending on your own fingers. I know for sure I couldn't use them myself.
So basically, don't listen to the opinions of others. keyswitch choice is almost completely subjective and as thus you really just want to find your switch, not the best switch
One of the most confusing posts I have ever seen. It makes a huge amount of generalizations about other switches, most being completely false. It is common knowledge that reds have the worst typing accuracy and therefore the worst speed, and blues give the best typing ability. There is no such thing as not 'needing' tactility, because the closer feeling allows the fingers to rise earlier than bottoming out on a red, which he probably does because he's an 'aggressive' typist (watch out). Oh, and then he says to not listen to the opinions for others.
Also, I highly doubt that he's an 'aggressive' typist if using clears wears him out. Clears use 55g, which is only 5g greater than the blue and 10g greater than the brown/red, which makes the poster seem just like he's dissuading you from a choice.
Here's a more objective guide.
Blues are great for typing. I could get to 140 wpm on these switches with great accuracy and rather little fluctuation, while on Reds I have a max of mid 130's and much more variation in speed because of the inaccuracy. However, reds are very, very comfortable and great for double-tapping, which I have difficulty on using blues. Blacks are heavy reds, which I imagine is kind of counterintuitive because they lack the comfort of the reds and the tactility of anything else. Not too sure about browns, but from the favorable things that I've heard about them, they're great keyboards for everything and I look forward to getting one.
Greens are definitely 'heavy' switches, requiring 80g and some serious manhandling to make work. I could only get to mid 130's, albeit with almost 100% accuracy. However, I get tired very quickly using these keys, but they did train me to not bottom out, which is invaluable. Clears are said by many GH members to be the best, by being tactile and medium stiff, allowing greater force without bottoming out.
So, I'll actually try to answer your question on how to find some MX clear boards. If you go to keyboardwow, there are two colors of Leopold FC660M with gray and black. They are both 75% keyboards (I believe.. I only really know 60%, TKL, and FS). Here's a picture of the black colored
Here are the links to the site:

http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/shop-mechanical-keyboard-by-sw/leopold-fc660m-mechanical-keyb/lid=35722930. The board with clears is $10 extra, totaling $119 before shipping, which will probably be $20 or so, but still less than $150. I haven't used Leopold, only CM and Corsair, but I have heard good things about their keyboards and hopefully if you get it, you will enjoy. The Leopold also comes with Browns, but you could probably get that cheaper from some other website and with less shipping time.
