I was looking at getting a semi-decent membrane keyboard, but one of my friends recently got a Razer Blackwidow (green switches) and the mechanical keys are nicer than I could have imagined.

I'm now looking for a budget mechanical keyboard. UK layout and number-pad are essential, media keys are very desirable. I think Cherry Brown (or equivalent) switches would be my preference, to give a similar feel to Cherry Blue / Razer green, but without the click.

I've found the following for £50-75. Does anyone have opinions on them please, or other suggestions?

Cooler Master CM Storm Quick Fire Ultimate (Cherry Blue) - £70
Gamdias Hermes Lite (Cherry Blue) - £53
Gigabyte Avia Osmium (Cherry Brown) - £60
Thermaltake esports POSEIDON Z (Kailh brown) - £65

Thanks!

EDIT:
Cougar 600k may also be an option, for £70, but I'm waiting to find out which switch type is in stock.
 
I've ordered a Gigabyte Avia Osmium, with Cherry MX Brown switches, for £59.

Reviews are generally very favourable, based on a selling price of £100ish, and it ticks every box for me.
