Any thoughts on the Corsair K70 Blue Backlight?

Hi all.
I am in the market for a mechanical keyboard and think the Corsair K70 will suite my needs. I really want to get a blue backlit one to match my mouse light, but I hear that they discontinued this model. Is that right?
If they did, what about the RGB version of it?
Does anyone have problems with their K70 LEDs dying?

Thanks!

The k70 is a sweet board, no doubt, but the Rosewill Apollo RK-9100x line is blue backlit, and gives you a choice of switches (the k70s only come in red, to my knowledge). The ones with Cherry MX Black and Blue are both on sale right now for $95 and $100 dollars respectively. I grabbed mine last week, and I love it.
