Welcome to Geekhack!
I also bought my first modern mechanical keyboard based on recommendations from here, and I haven't looked back since (some 10 or 12 additional keyboard later, although I think most of them were my fault). My original keyboard is still going strong, by the way.
The Filco is a good, sturdy, reliable keyboard with a standard layout - all good points. With a little care it should last you for many years.
