Help me choose a mechanical keyboard

[Raycorrupt]

I've finally decided to save up and buy a nice quality mechanical keyboard that will last me forever....I'm hoping to buy a quality board and replace keys over time if I feel like customising it.
Naturally, I want the best base board I can get (heavy and well built) and I'd prefer a 75% model but they're pretty uncommon so tenkeyless is fine.
The other requirement I need is that it MUST have the function keys above the 1-0 keys without there being a gap. I'm looking for Cherry MX Red switches.
Also, it must be in a UK qwerty layout.
I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/Keycool-Mechanical-Backlight-Available-backlight/dp/B00CSIY5FS?tag=y1aboikpo-20

but it's in USA layout which obviously I don't want.
An added thing I would like is the keys to be front printed (like the Filco ninja) but if that compromises the other factors, I could just buy them separately.

Thanks c:

I am using Qpad MK-80 pro (brown).
This is not that expensive but lack of macro keys, if you want to have macro keys.

If you like macro keys, you would probably like Corsair K70 or K95.

BTW, independent of the brand and type, you must also decide which Cherry key type you like. I am for example the brown type, others could be red and some could be blue, etc.

I did say I was looking for Cherry MX Red switches (already tried brown and I assume I won't like blue if I don't like brown). Also, TKL really is a must for me, but thanks for your suggestion

Corsair K70 is availiable with Cherry MX Red switches and is rated one of the best, if not the best keyboard available. K95 if you need macro keys.
I got the K70 myself and it's really well build and looking pretty good.
No issues so far. Like it alot.

CM Storm Rapid i has in MX-Red and TKL.
The combination of TKL and MX-Red seems to be a rarity.

Roccat Ryos pro has TKL but unfortunately only with blue and brown <-- the build quality is quite incredible
Brown..it is not as noisy as blue..I dunno if you gonna like it if you like only red.

Thanks for your recommendations but not of those keyboards have the F1-F12 keys directly above (touching) the 1-0 keys... is there even one with this layout available in UK? I know there are a few in USA such as Keycool 84 and Noppoo Choc mini, but they don't sell in UK layout
