This seems like quite a good keycaps option; it's SA profile but all row 3, with a few different colors: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round_5#HONEY.2FERGO_.28ErgoDox_kit_.7C_.2459.29

jefferaiNice, I didn't relize there were ErgoDox kits there! So that group buy is also an option for someone looking for printed keys - and even in Dvorak/Colemak layout. E.g. 29 + 32 will get you printed querty, while 29 + 32 + 12 colemak. Looks like it also has nice homing dish keys.

mooswa @mooswa They're not printed. Since SA is sculptured, those kits have both the right size keys and are all row 3, in contrast to the other key sets that have variance between rows.
Unless you're talking about something else on there, and I'm not understanding you...I don't see numeric identifiers on that page that go up to 32.

Yes, there is a blank full set : HONEY/ERGO (ErgoDox kit | $59)
But also these mix and match: HONEY/ERGOBASE (ErgoDox base kit | $29) - just the special keys HONEY/ALPHA (ALPHA kit | $32) - rows 1,2,3,4 querty HONEY/COLEMAK (COLEMAK language kit | $12) - only few alphas that have different rows in colemak vs querty HONEY/DVORAK (DVORAK language kit | $24) - again only necessary alphas to get to the dvorak from querty
Not sure if you have noticed, these use ABS plastic not PBT. On the plus side they are "never worn out" doubleshots. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Double-shot_molding

mooswaAh, I understand, you were listing the pricing, not referencing option numbers. Sorry about that.
Do you happen to know how well multi-row SAs work on the ErgoDox? The ERGO options are all row 3 SA keycaps; would it feel strange to strange to mix and match the row 3 ERGOBASE keys with row 1/2/3/4 ALPHA keys?

jefferaiYes, that probably would be weird. But check this out - there are two ErgoDox kits now - one is all 3s - HONEY/ERGO/R3, and the other one is 1/2/3/4 - HONE/ERGO

mooswaHONEY/ERGOBASE is now R1/2/3/4 and a new HONEY/ERGOBASE/R3 will be what HONEY/ERGOBASE used to be. See my question and 7bit's reply here http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/doubleshot-replacements-round-5-honey-sphericals-t6732-1020.html

mooswaLittle help here... I'm confused by the Honey/ERGO/R3 set - what's up with that top row of keys? I don't see that on the Ergodox layout. Is that just an extra set of colored keys to use as you see fit, or is this for an alternative layout or ERgodox?
