I'm sure you'll like the rapid, it's a nice keyboard. Unfortunate that you couldn't get your desired switch though.

I think you'll be pleased with the TJ08. Those were pretty much my issues with the Arc as well. But I settled on it nonetheless, since I might need the extra drive bays and I like the fan setup.
Even though I would prefer the TJ08 for its size and weight.
Here's what I like about the case:
1. Great cable management! With a lot rubber grommets (these have a tendency of being pushed out of their holes though.
2. Not big, not small either, which makes for an easy build!
3. Great for both water and air cooling, for it's size. I may end up custom water looping it sometime, as of now I'm just using an H100, I love the temps that come with it though, but the only thing making a sound in my case is the pump, no squeaking or chirping of any kind though, guess I'm one of the lucky ones!
Here's what I don't like about the case and its accessories:
1. Fan controller seems very fragile, and I mean extremely fragile! And imho I think it should've been on the top or on the front, to make it a little bit more accessible.
2. I wish I could take out second drive bay cage without using tools and that the motherboard tray cut out was.... cut out a little differently (I may just have been really unlucky with the V Gene)
3. Removable motherboard tray, like with the TJ08.
4. A tad smaller would be nice and with a removable handle of some sort for added portability, and with more use of aluminium instead of steel for weight cuts.. This would put the case at a higher cost though, one which I wouldn't mind.
The last two aren't really cons, but personal opinions. I've probably missed a few things, if I have I'll just edit it in later.
All in all I think it's an awesome case!
I'll get some pictures posted later, bit busy right now.
I've tried the filco with reds and I enjoyed that quite a lot so I hope I'll like the rapid too.
