Drop's overall keyboard offerings were decent value when they started off, but I think their entire line is in need of a revamp, with their old fashioned low profile cases, north facing LEDs and really old PCB designs with no support for PCB-mount stabs. The low-mid end of the customs market is now full of decent options with a good amount of variety compared to Massdrop's, especially with the new wave of affordable hot-swap options from the likes of NovelKeys, Caps-unlocked, Idobao, TKC, KBDFans and others, it's getting harder and harder to see the value proposition from these. It's going to take more than just a few additional colours and fancy underglow RGB LEDs for them to remain competitive in my opinion.
I think Drop has been on somewhat of a downhill trajectory ever since they dropped (heh...) the majority of their communities and exclusively focus on keyboards/audio. The site lost a lot of what used to make it great. These days I just think of them as a place to get cheap(ish) Sennheiser headphones and MT3 keysets, and I'm really not certain how long they can stretch that business model.
