I started out with a Filco Majestouch 2 with MX Browns and never regretted a single second of it. Of course, I love thick Cherry doubleshots on it more than the stock caps, but they're still leaps and bounds beyond any non-mechanical boards keycaps (the stock Filco ones).
If I were to suggest any keyboard to anyone on the spot, it would be that one. I was in your same position and someone did the same for me, I went for it, and everything has worked perfectly. Filcos cost a bit more, of course, but I definitely love the solid build quality. You might be able to get a good deal on a "used" one, too, if you're not in a hurry to purchase.
I also managed to get my employer to purchase 30 or so WASD boards with browns and everyone seems to like them, too. I don't like the case as much though since it feels/sounds more hollow than the Filco, as it's not right up against the metal plate/innards.
