Strafe vs k95 platinum

I made a post about k95 platinum and BW v2, everyone told me that the k95 platinum was better, but is it better than strafe?
I know that strafe doesn't have macro and dedicated media keys, but this isn't a problem. 
I have two questions:
Mx speed or silent?

which is more beautiful? Strafe or K95 Platinum?

The strafe was kinda made as a budget (-ish, of course) version of the K70, so compared to the K95 Platinum, the more premium one is obvious (it's the K95 Platinum, if it wasn't obvious to you).

Aluminium vs. plastic build and of course the K95 Plat. with the RGB line across the top.. Just some extra things.

 

But there of course is a price difference between the two, so the choice is up to you.

And Speed switches are like an earlier activating and lighter Red and the Silent is a Red with an O-Ring (thus it's more silent). Choice whichever serves your purpose better.

I have the K95 Platinum for a few months now and I love it, the build quality is really premium and you can really feel it. Previously I had Roccat keyboards which were all plastic and I wouldn't go back to a plastic keyboard now.

 

For the switches I chose the MX speed , was kinda funny feeling at the beginning but after I got used to it (2-3 days time) I knew it was the right choice for me

-not too clicky like i.e. MX Blue

-low distance makes it comfortable if you use your keyboard not only to play but also to work and type a lot (my hands were often tired after few hours working on typical gaming switches which are hard and long to press)

-yet there's still enough of the feel to it that I would not press it accidentally anymore

 

also a slight bonus to the K95 is that it comes with a 2-sided wrist rest pad which I find pretty awesome - you don't have to choose whole keyboard depending on whether you preffer pad with grip or slick

 

Hope it helps, cheers :)
