For what it’s worth I have a Sofle keyboard, that’s a diy ergo split. And it’s a lot cheaper than a moonlander (especially if you already have keycaps and switches). Also it’s QMK so you can customise the layout to your hearts content. I really enjoy it. Very nice to use. The Sofle v2 looks to have a slightly more convenient thumb/mod key row, but I couldn’t get it with choc switches at the time, which I wanted.

If I had to pick between those 3, I would probably go with the Glove80. I've just really liked that board since the guy that made it first posted early pics.
If you can solder and are willing to go with a smaller thumb cluster, look into a Sofie or Lily58 kit. That would be cheaper by far but I get why someone wouldn't want to go that route too.
Hi, there is a community just for Ergo Mech over at lemmy.world - ErgoMechKeyboards
For whatever reason, the "c" in that link needed to be switched with "m" for it to work: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
Yeah, if it's on a Kbin instance they're called magazines, not communities. Honestly I find Kbin weird because it tries to mix two different organization styles, but whatever. So, for that user it uses an m even though it's originally a Lemmy instance.
I have the Moonlander as my first and only ergo board (so far). I like it a lot, especially since it’s not an extreme departure from normal keyboards. I don’t go crazy with layers, but people have published Moonlander configurations that may help you solve the issue of not enough keys.
