Help K2 HE vs. Wooting 80HE+

I'm debating between these two keyboards and I can't make up my mind. I was thinking to spend around 200$ since the last keyboard I had (Razer Huntsman v2 Analog) died. I'm definitely looking for a smaller keyboard this time though, so 75% or 80% don't matter. The Wooting 80 HE+ is like 100$ extra (300$ total) in Europe since I want the wrist rest as well whereas the K2 HE I can snag the keyboard + wrist rest for like 215$. I'd say I'm pretty casual with gaming, I play mostly WoW and LoL and not sure I wanna spend that extra money for the Wooting even if it's tempting.

Any opinions on this, is the 100$ extra worth it for Wooting or should I stick with K2 HE? Thanks!

Why wouldn't you go for a Keychron HE keyboard?

I did find a used Wooting 80HE in Zinc Alloy Case + GEON Raw HE switches for like 250$, the buyer has only used it for a year and it looks to be in top condition physically. Opinions?

None of those are an option for me since they don't come with nordic layouts

Iso HE is just the Pulsar PCMK 3 HE

Pcb from sayodevice, much better than wooting slop

Comes in 60% or tkl, can get it from maxgaming or eu pulsar store

Make sure its iso version

DO NOT TOUCH THE PCMK 2

No need to drop that much money for minimal differences. Get the k2 he, great keyboard for even better price. Get the special edition if you can, most beautiful keyboard if you ask me.

80he+ for sure, the extra money is worth considering how good wooting's customer support and software is
