Simply, what's the best full size gaming mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Browns. It must have a backlight(can be fancy), either blue or green (green preferred). I don't care to much for macros, but I'll allow them. I only really use volume up and down media keys, so that is preferred but not deal breaker. Price range is pretty much anything under $150, but of it goes a little above I won't mind. I've been looking at 3 really, Corsair K70, Ducky Shine 3, and the CMStorm Pro/Ultimate(can someone explain the difference between the two?) If there are better choices then please tell me, I'm leaning towards the ducky keyboard.

I don't own one yet, but my research has narrowed it down to the Corsair K70 or K90. The K90 uses RED CHERRY as it's optimized for MMO's and the K70 has three versions (Brown, Red, Blue).

Maybe the K70 with Brown Cherry keys?

As I said in the post, I was looking at the K70, but after some research I learned about the ducky keyboard and I've heard good things about the shine 3
 
As I was reading your post the Ducky Shine was what I was thinking of.
I use a Ducky Shine II (MX Browns) and love the thing, its a good keyboard and the Shine III looks to be the same. The new reactive typing mode I really want, its way too fast on the Shine II 🙁
