Anyone in the NYC metro area with a BOX switch keyboard

Please don't upvote this. I was wondering if there was anyone in the NYC metropolitan area who has a board built with Kailh BOX reds or BOX blacks. I'm looking to make a new board, and would like to use some really nice linears, but have never used these so I liked to get an idea for their smoothness and weight. I've never gotten a good feel for a switch on a switch tester, so I wanted to try a full board with them.

Background (Edit): I already have a set of linearized black Alps, but the force (~70g) is a bit too heavy for my liking. The cost of replacement springs actually happens to be about the same as the cost of BOX linears, but with the BOX switches, I can use MX keycaps which is a huge plus considering that I want to build an ortholinear board and prefer uniprofile keycaps, so that's my motivation behind this request.
