Looking at choice between choc "Pro Pink" ("20gf") vs "Purpz" ("25g actuation force") -- any experience with how different they actually *feel*? (from people with similar tastes with really light, silent switches)

So I like really light, silent switches (I wish I could get better tactile feedback without adding weight or noise, but...)

And I'm currently looking at a choice between

And I'm wondering if anyone with similar tastes has any experience with how different they actually feel?

[
I was hoping to keep things simple, all one keyswitch type,
but I've heard people talk about getting different switches for different sections of the keyboard,
and I'm starting to worry that's something I'll need to think about myself...

EDIT:
just found these comments:

The pink switches should be the same weight as the purpz, if I recall correctly.

and:

This, the main difference is in the housing material. Purpz are marginally higher pitch and marginally smoother than pinks (and gChocs/blues which are a recolor)

The 5g difference comes from some vendors listing the bottom out forever and some listing the actuation point. They also technically have +/-15g spring weight to be in spec



EDIT EDIT:
in the end, I decided to order the nocturnals
-- they're apparently just a redesigned, strictly better updated version of the pinks
(
same 20g force,
same travel/pre-travel: 3mm/1.5mm,
but with tighter tolerances / less wiggle,
and some rubber padding so the bottom-out isn't as harsh.

Also, one commenter said:

Purples suck. They're wildly inconsistent.

So I'm guessing that maybe it kinda sounds like the purpz were an awkward attempt to correct for some problems the pinks,
where the pinks were so light it made it too easy to bottom out too hard,
but then the nocturnals were the redesign where they actually got the problem fixed correctly?
(ie, I'm just basing this theory off my interpretation of this commenter's reported experiences)
)

Some images that apparently explain the features of the redesign that make it better:

(Those cut-away diagrams show the light green 35g "twighlight" rather rather than the black "nocturnal", but same info applies)

And I don't have a diagram for the pinks, but I think in this image you can kinda see the top of the keystem is wider,
and it lacks the protruding legs on the sides of the stem:

I ordered mine from:
https://42keebs.eu/shop/switches/choc/ambients-silent-choc-switches-10-pcs/?attribute_type=Nocturnal+%2820+g+linear%29
since they're going to FalbaTech in Poland for assembly into:
https://falbatech.click/products/Ergodox_FT-Low-Profile-Fully-Assembled-Custom-Mechanical-Keyboard-p613836480
(he's gotta test the hotswap sockets are connected right anyway, so he may as well pop the switches in)

btw, the reason I think I want super light 20g switches
is cuz I already have 35g gateron clears

Type:       Linear  
Actuation:  35g  
Bottom Out: 
Pre Travel: 2mm  
Travel:     4mm

and when I just try to type as lightly as I can on my current keyboard,
so lightly that almost none of the keystrokes actually register,
I find that my keystrokes still feel like they should all be distinct and coordinated and registering,
which is why I'm sure for all practical purposes that I want lighter keyswitches.
