There is also the Azio MGK1 for ~$60 on NCIX/Amazon.  That has some extra features like dedicated media keys, white backlighting, etc...  Right now it is displaying $100, but I think thats only because its out of stock, it has previously been $60.

 

Then there is the Tesoro Lobera Supreme for $80.  This one has a lot of additional features and is on sale off its MSRP of $150.

 

Lastly the Ducky Shine Zero - $130  There Brown Switch one is only $105.  This is the only one that has actual Cherry MX Keys.  The other two use Kailh.  Depending who you ask, they feel exactly the same.

if u don't want backlight go with RevoltTrain's response if u want backlight and ur on a budget get kaihl blue switches... they don't last as long nor feel consistent but ur still getting a discount (poseiden Z is the best example)

if u really want cherry mx and only cherry mx go check out massdrop and u could maybe find something good there :)

I just did this search and the only really cost effective one people had to recommend with actual cherry mx blues that was available was the monoprice board. I got the posiedon z with the knock of blue switches from kailh and it's nice. Blue backlight.
