The Keychron K4 has a pretty similar layout. I daily drive one at work and have had a pretty positive experience using it in both wired and wireless modes. Keychron also has the Q12 which is a 96% with a left handed numpad which I'm interested in. That one has QMK/VIA support whereas the K4 doesn't.

​

There's also the Kbdfans Odin, but I have less knowledge on that one since I personally can't justify the price for myself.

My favorite is the Wind X.
It's an F-keyless 1800.
That said, I've moved on from large keyboards, for the most part.

I figured out a way to get all the same features of an 96% into a 60% case, with a personally designed, split spacebar ortho layout.
Now that I've been using that layout for a while now, the inefficiency of larger keyboards really annoys me, even my Wind X.

Nice. I’ll check it out. What switches are you running?

Thanks for you input and perspective. I’m a fan of 60% as well but enjoy the NUM pad. 96 seems to be my happy medium, at least for now.

Got it with gateron blues stock, then around last year I swapped them for some old Halo Trues I had lying around

That's exactly what I was saying though, the two are not mutually exclusive.
I would even go so far as to argue that 100/96/1800s are not the most efficient way of including a numpad.

Both of the layouts in the photo below are standard 60% cases, with full numpads included on them, as well as both dedicated and layered arrows, so I can use whichever arrows are most convenient, at any given moment.

The top one is my work board, and will allow me to type an entire address without ever moving any finger more than one key away from its home location.
I swap between alphas and numpad, on the fly, by holding down the left blank spacebar button with my left thumb.
I can also toggle the numpad in, with the white Fn button in the middle, if I want to do something like use the calculator for an extended period.

The bottom one is my home board, and has the numpad all the way to the right, layered over the modifiers there, because that's where it is most comfortable to me, while using it for gaming, with the mouse in my left hand.
