LF Mechanical Keyboard with 18 G-Keys

I absolutely love my current Logitech G11 keyboard, but it's getting a little on the old side, haven't been able to replace it for a couple of years primarily because I can't find a worthy substitute for the 18 dedicated macro keys with 3 layers.

I am actively using about 25 dedicated macros on this keyboard (out of total 18 x 3 = 54)

I have my eyes currently on the Corsair K95 Cherry MX Brown, because it's the only KB with 18 G-Keys I am aware of.

The only problem is I feel like it's a little on the expensive side and I can't justify to myself spending on a keyboard more than what I can use to buy 32GB of RAM or a motherboard or something...

 

Are there any other suggestions for a mech keyboard with dedicated macro keys? Or am I stuck with my 10 year old membrane?

Would getting a different keyboard and something like the Orbweaver be a good compromise?

 

Sig under construction.

I'd love that but it's like a 100€ for keyboard and another 100€ for the orbweaver, but that I would love to have

Wouldn't you be able to get a tenkeyless keyboard or something for less potentially?
