Ducky 1087 from PChome

Alright, basically, I want to get the glory of a filco tenkeyless for less than £110. I've heard good things about the ducky so I hopped on the PChome.com.ts but....
Tea Switches?
Youth Switches?
WTF? Can someone fill me in on this. I don't want to end up with mx browns or blacks, I want the blues. Which one is it:

green mix means Brown switches on the main typing area and Blues on the Home/End/Arrow cluster.

if you want blues all around this is it

however they are OOS right now and I don't think PCHome will stock any more because the 1087 is being discontinued and soon to be replaced by a new model from Ducky.

Thanks, turns out I my be able to get a refurb model M for much much less. So that seems like the better deal to me, i'm a VERY heavy typer. Thanks for the fast response though!

Definitely much less. Plus, if you're in the UK, the Duckies don't come in the UK layout, which the Model M does (if you can find it).

For that matter, a new Model M (Unicomp Customizer) in UK layout, shipped, would be less than £110.

And a much better keyboard, to boot.
HHKB Pro 2 -- Custom UNIX layout Unicomp Customizer 101 -- IBM Model M 1391401 (modded to UNIX layout) -- IBM 1397000 (also UNIX layout) -- SSK in UNIX layout -- Model F 122 key in UNIX layout (Soarer USB "native")
 
CST L-TracX trackball -- Kensington Expert Mouse trackball
