Personally I'd go for the RealForce, as long as it was 55g uniform.

I have a lot of experience with 45g Topre on my HHKB.

Or, if you can wait for the CM Novatouch, maybe consider that.  Conventional TKL layout with the oneness with cup rubber (Topre switches).

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

If you have 45g then why do you suggest the 55g?

I find 45g way too light.  It is analagous to MX red, which find waaay too light.  I prefer MX blacks or greens, hence I suspect I would prefer 55g Topre.

I also like BS in my Model M :)
