Renders are flat and completely uniform in colour while the real thing is 3D and reflective. The colours look pretty damn close so the renders are great, but they could never compare to the real thing which looks perfect.

It makes me wonder why anyone would choose to make an SA set with all row 3.
See those 4 Geek Hack keys? On a row 3 set you only need 2 as you can put them anywhere. That row 4 1x FN key? Won't be perfect on the bottom row. Row 2 backspace alternatives? Won't fit on the number row...
If you're playing about with custom layouts an all row 3 set gets you complete flexibility without duplicating keys which is great, but contour feels better. I (will) have the keys, now I'm going to design a board around them. Seems the best way to do it!
Thanks JD and all at [ctrl]alt, can't wait to get my fingers on these. I'm still hopeful for a birthday delivery
