If you've never used mechanical, MX Speed feels fine. Noticeably better than membrane keys.
If you've used MX or the like keycaps before, MX Speed feels soft. Honestly, after typing on one for a few minutes, it wasn't super noticeable anymore though.
I specifically checked out the new K95 MX Speed because my current K95 RGB needs replacing. The MX Brown was almost $200 where as the MX Speed was on sale at or below $100 over Christmas.
If you can get the MX Brown for cheaper, that'd be my choice. Overall, I'd rather just go reds next time. The slight hitch in brown typing versus red can get old after a while. It's not bad, but eh. Live and learn I guess.
All this being said, make sure you get a warranty. I've had key ghosting, and no full key failure from my K95s. Also not a huge fan of losing the G keys. I went with the K95 over the K70 for the extended G keys. Now they're all removed down to 6. As someone that has tons of things set to those g keys, it's not a fun loss.
Anywho, hope that answers some questions. Normal Keyboards < MX Speed < MX Brown

I know OP is "Cherry MX Brown" and my link is "Cherry MX Speed" but is there a real difference that can be appreciated by the average user? Also, if both are $199.99 MSRP, any thoughts on why only the brown switch version is reduced?

I've been using it for a few months and I occasionally crash vehicles because I'm not aware I'm actuating the a or d key while using wasd
Even at this price I'd recommend looking else where

With that, the MX Speeds are in my opinion the next step.
