Ergonomic keyboards can be difficult to get your hands on. I don't live in a town - but Canberra is only about an hour away, and they have a shop that specialises in ergonomic office equipment where I got to put my hands on a few different items, including the Goldtouch and that other one I mentioned earlier with little motors inside that kept the configuration changing slowly (I don't remember the brand). They also had a couple of interest mouses and alternatives. I would have had to travel to Sydney (3hrs) to get my hands on a Kinesis Freestyle and they wanted over $200 for it - with petrol and time considerations I decided I was better off ordering from the U.S. and seeing what I got (much like you are doing now).

Good luck with with the Goldtouch, I hope it works out for you.
