I've decided I want a mechanical keyboard but I'm not really bothered about backlighting, so I don't really want to spend a lot of money on fancy lighting features.

What I'm wondering is what I lose by going for the Zero SZ (DK2108SZ - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/duck...d-cherry-mx-switch-blue-led-uk-kb-21q-dk.html) rather than the Shine 5 (DKSH1508ST - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/duck...ghting-abs-double-shot-keycaps-kb-182-dk.html) aside from the lighting stuff. It seems the keycaps are better on the shine 5, but is that a huge difference?

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: In fact I just noticed the DK2108 (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/duck...l-keyboard-black-cherry-switch-kb-029-dk.html), which seems to be the same as the Zero SZ but with no LEDS. Maybe this is the right choice given that I don't care about backlighting?

Apart from what you stated above RGB/Single Colour & ABS/ABS Double Shot Keycaps

Shape is a little different, the Zero has a more slim line case, Shine 5 has a removable USB cable Zero doesn't.

Zero's is a good solid keyboard if you don't require RGB, the none back-lit version of the Zero is now EOL you can turn the lights off on the ZERO SZ though.
 
Thanks for confirming. I went ahead and ordered the Zero SZ (reds) last night - hopefully will show up today/tomorrow!
