Also a HHKB Pro 2 user here. Absolutely one of the best things I've ever bought. Apart from the excellent Topre switches, the small format factor is perfect as you don't need to move your hands from the home row to hit any key (Fn key with your right pinky opens up F# keys and numerous handy shortcut keys like /, *, + and -, and of course arrow keys).

They are expensive keyboards, but when you spend your entire working day and then some on a keyboard, there's no reason not to splash out a little. It has lasted me a couple years already and it's still perfect. Considering buying a Type-S for home to see how that is in comparison to the standard model.

Oh, and that beautiful sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWPH7FAUfUY :)
