You can buy this board with Cherry MX Red as standard AFAIK, so you only need to factor in the price of aftermarket keycaps.
I think it’s worth the price. I see it as sitting somewhere in the middle of the mechanical keyboard spectrum, in that it’s not a ‘gamer’ brand such as Corsair, Cooler Master etc, but it’s not on the level of ‘enthusiast’ brands such as HKKB, Ducky, Pok3r etc.
It’s a nice in-between, it was my introduction to mech KB’s and I don’t regret the purchase at all (to tell a lie, I do, because it’s quickly becoming an addiction lol)
ETA: Because the Amazon listings for these boards seem a bit mis-matched, I initially found it with Kailh Red switches, however HERE is the 68 key with MX Reds on Amazon US – so they do exist somewhere lol

Your hands must be really, really small then. A friend of mine bought the G213 and I typed on it. The keys weren’t bad despite not being mechanical, the size is standard and it was confortable for my smaller than average hands.
For advice about buying /r/MechanicalKeyboards go to the corresponding subreddit but you’re going to have a problem: they’re all about the same size. Hopefully, the keyboards experts will be able to help you but if you think the G213 is huge, all normal keyboards are going to be huge because they tend to follow the same basic outline. You’ll have to buy one of those tiny keyboards with cramped keys similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AXM7PMU/

Do any of those meet the same $72 price point? I know I would be losing the ability to change out keycaps in the future with the Romers, but, im not even sure that is something I plan on doing anyway.
How about the Qisan with Cherry reds?

This is the only sub $100 MX Green I’ve ever seen http://www.amazon.com/Qisan-Keyboard-Mechanical-Backlight-Cable-White/dp/B01AXM7PMU/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1455815688&sr=8-11&keywords=Qisan
Edit: For some reason my link defaults to the wrong switch
I have a WASD and its been great for me so far. However, I’ve heard good things about all those companies

Recommendation(s)? All I need is durability and reliability and red switches. (And, quality keycaps would be a huge plus come to think of it.)

It depends on where you live but I got my first at BestBuy, a Razer Blackwidow, I wouldn’t really recommend the board or BestBuy. My next two I got off of Amazon, a Magicforce 60% and an Annie Pro 60%. If you want something like those I will link the ones I bought. The sellers are top notch and they both came in under a week, I didn’t even buy expedited shipping.
The Magicforce:

The Annie Pro:

I wholeheartedly recommend Qisan, the seller of the Magicforce on Amazon for even his larger Magicforce boards. He is also really helpful and will answer any questions you have. Just be sure to choose the switch color you want.
Good luck!

They come in non-backlit as well. You can look at their store page for all of the variants.

There is but I actually recommend the Gateron red version. I find that Gateron switches (in general) are smoother compared to Cherry (but this is my personal opinion, take it with a grain of salt).
