Why not go with an MJ2 with Browns like the one you tried already?
Top quality, within your budget, suits all your criteria. Or if you want to look at boards with backlighting, try the Ducky Shine models.
This does raise a question, though. Costar or Cherry stabilisers? Filco has Costar, Ducky has Cherry.
I choose Cherry, despite the little tabs which soften the bottom out, simply because they're less hassle when changing caps, less prone to rattle, don't binf on thick keycaps, etc. And the little tabs casn be trimmed off so they don't have a "mushy" bottom out any more.
Costar are fine if you don't change keycaps much, don't want to mod them to get rid of the tabs or don't plan to get thick caps that may bind.
