There are a lot of good aluminum 75 keyboards in the $100 range to choose from. I looked at the Bridge 75, the Rainy 75, and the RD75. They all seem pretty similar, but I ended up with a couple of Bridge 75s: a white Pro and a silver Pro.
Subjective stuff, but why I chose the Bridge 75:
Clean simple look (no logos and no screen)
VIA support (Rainy 75 also has it, but the RD75 does not because of the screen I think)
Ball catch top - Makes it so easy to pop open and goof around
The white Bridge 75 has some glitter on the coat (as they clearly state in the specs). I'm not a huge fan, but it's not really prominent. The white is also a little textured, which is neither a plus or minus for me. The silver is anodized and smooth - looks and feels fantastic to me.
I'm also not a huge fan of the flex cut plate, but it's not bad. I bought some alternatives to try out from a shop on Aliexpress (POM, PP, carbon fiber, aluminum) and asked for non flex cuts. I have tried the PP so far and it feels more solid and gives a lower pitch, which is my preference.
The keycaps that come with them are good too. Nice colors and decent PBT. I have tried DCX and some ABS MT3 and both are really nice on it. For the closest profile to stock, the DCX improves the board in my opinion.
If you like light linear switches, the ones that come with the Bridge 75 Pros are really good for the price of the board. I prefer heavier linears, so I have swapped in some Aqua Kings and they are really nice on it.
Depending on your preferences it would be hard to find a better value in my opinion.
