Need help choosing a case

Inkz

I am looking for a mid to full sized case, either mesh or glass front to have RGB fans on the front and clearly visible. I prefer glass but one that has decent side ventilation/a gap to still let air flow in. Here is a list of the ones I found on Newegg and feel free to recommend more.I also want to have an AIO 240mm AIO, probably a Kraken x62 because I like the look on the top with the fans visible on the bottom of the radiator. I am planning on getting a 10900k when in stock and a 2080 super, not overclocked though. 
Here our the ones I am debating.
1. Corsair 220t ICU Glass https://www.newegg.com/corsair-220t-rgb-black-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811139153  I prefer a black case, but not tinted. I am not sure from the site, but I think they are all dark tinted. Also not sure if I can fit the 240mm rad on top like how I want.
2. Thermaltake 20MT https://www.newegg.com/black-thermaltake-level-20-mt-argb-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811133395 I know very little about this one.
3.   Dark flash Phantom https://www.newegg.com/black-darkflash-tempered-glass-atx-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/2AM-008X-00002 I really like how this one looks, although I might replace rgb fans with full rgb instead of just on the rings. I don't see many tests or any from like Gamersnexus. Does look a little tall but still good. 

4. https://www.newegg.com/p/2AM-00GP-000C9 Not sure the brand, but looks decent. Probably not though. 

5. https://www.newegg.com/black-rosewill-cullinan-v500-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811147293 A rosewill case, would need to swap out fans with rgb.
6. https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/?filter=8448/#!/Size=Mid Tower Coolermaster H500 series, the mesh ones look nice, but not sure if I would want to replace the 200mm fans or not, and if I did with 140mm fans how would they look? having issue finding pictures of people who swapped them out. Plus not sure if there is enough room above mobo to mount the AIO with rad and fan below case, but I really like these ones
7.  Phanteks p400a https://www.newegg.com/black-phanteks-eclipse-p400a-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811854086  I am not sure why but I just don't like how their fans and mesh look, but reviews seem to say it is good at least for airflow.
8.  Fractal Vision S2 RGB https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-define-s2-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352105 I think overall this might my favorite, reviews say temps are ok but a little loud. I could consider getting aftermarket fans to help with this. Biggest grip is that there is a ton of dead space near front, most cases I see have too little but this has just a tiny bit too much. Not sure if I can like vertical mount some SSDs or something to make that spot looks more busy, but besides that and prices it might be my favorite one.

I am leaning a little towards the Fractal or Coolermaster cases, but keeping in mind the AIO in top to still be compatible. Price isn't an issue as long as it's not like an insane $400 plus. I am also willing to change fans with aftermarket ones if you know of good tempered glass front with no rgb fans.  I appreciate any help and discussion.

the deepcool matrexx 70 looks almost the same as the fractal vision s2 rgb, there is a version of the deepcool matrexx 70 with pre installed 3 120 rgb fans in front and a rgb strip on the side and the another exhaust fan at the back but you should replace that. Deepcool Matrexx 77 ADD rgb, im currently using this case and so far so good can fit almost any aio and tons of expandibility.
