K70 worth it?

My birthday isn't for a while and I don't care about the RGB version or not (which I might), but is the K70 worth it, compared to some of the other keyboards coming out more? 

 

I really like blue switches but I used reds at a friends house and I actually prefer them more for the type of games that I play more and more nowadays.

IMO, yes. It has a great backlight, media controls and best of all... ALUMINUM. I really like the aluminum frame of it. I've had mine for a couple months and couldn't be happier. Blue switch BTW.

I've owned two K70s. One with Reds and the other with Blues. I currently use Blues and I handed down the Reds to my little brother. But I personally love the build quality and aesthetics. The dedicated media controls and volume rocker are a nice touch.

Having gone from a rubberdome razer lycosa to a MX brown k70.. yes yes yes. I prefer the cherry switches so much more<3 it took a day or so to get used to though. And the media controls are nice, the volume controller is this nifty wheel thingy. xD
