Congratulations! I tend to agree with your assessment.
In my own case, my favorite switches are 55g and 45g Topre, IBM capacitive buckling spring (Model F), Matias Click, and Matias Quiet Click. Even better: silenced 55g and 45g Topre.
My all-time favorite board (thus far) is a black HHKB Pro 2 modded with 55g domes, Silencing Rings, and Topre blue alphanumeric keycaps with blank black mods and black spacebar.
Enjoy!
