Which mechanical TKL keyboard to choose?

Question

Iron

Good day!
I choose the first mechanical keyboard for work. What I would like to get: 1
) TKL (without a numeric keypad)
2) clean, no key designations (otaku)
3) Cherry MX Brown
blind code in latin layout).
The first point is justified by the fact that I use the numpad only for calculations on the calculator, and it lengthens the path to the mouse. It seems to me that the absence of it should increase efficiency.
By the type of keys, the preference is justified solely by the reviews read. There is nowhere to try different types live, so you have to guess. It's interesting, of course, to try Blue, but I don't want to annoy people at work with loud sounds. Otherwise, as I understand it, Brown is the most versatile option.
Initially tuned to Das Keyboard, but it disappeared after the appearance of the first item.
Now I'm looking at WASD V2 87-Key Custom Mechanical Keyboard and CM QuickFire Stealth .
The first one is $40 more expensive and Brown is out of stock now - only Blue and Clear (the general opinion of which is "good, but needs to be replaced springs"). The second one has inscriptions on the buttons, albeit in an unusual place.
In general, help me decide, please.
Sub-questions that would also like answers:
1) is Blue really as uncomfortably loud as they say? Even with dampers ?
2) Does TKL justify itself in the office if there is enough space?

Zalman ZM-K500 Black USB is a relatively budget mechanic, if you just want to try how it is and just without a digital block:

I have been working for this for more than a year, the flight is normal . Satisfied. The noise level is acceptable.
TKL is more of a subjective preference than a challenge to fit into some kind of bottleneck. It also teaches you to pull your hands on the digital block.
As for the keyboard without inscriptions, this is actually not so easy to find. I bought myself a Leopold FC700R for my home, but I haven't used it much yet, since I mostly sit at home with a laptop.
It is available with Cherry-MX Brown and is also made in TKL form factor.
