Ducky too low class for my taste.
I need the refinement of high quality products.
I want to try clear switches.
I also want an ergodox. Once I've tried a clear switch keyboard, then I'll decide what switch to get for my ergodox. For now, it's a pipedream.
Define high quality?
Ergodox basically is just like normal acrylic custom.
Layers of acrylics, hex screws, pcb, 3.5mm jack. that's it.

Beauty in the eye of beholder. And I have sentimental attachment to split keyboards.
Besides, I already owned an entry-level Ducky before. Not too keen on getting an upper range one because you still end up changing keycaps.
And all 104-key, or TKL looks the same. Ergodox, looks cool.
Not asking you to buy and own also

If you say all full size, tkl and 60% looks the same, then you got to do lurk more.
Look at 356, they have couple of different series but people still got for it despite crazy prices, when i mean crazy, which is 700US above.
Getting ergodox doesn't mean you don't change keycaps, because the availability is too less.
Custom kaki don't use split keyboard to determine high quality product. That would be funny if someone do, because they know nothing more.
