How does 55g topre compare to a stock cherry mx brown?

How do they feel or compare? To me Cherry Brown feels weak and boring but dunno about topre
They are very very different breeds. I tried both of them.
55g Topre is simply Topre and heavier and you notice more when you type on it for longer time.
Cherry MX brown is still the old a-grain-of-sand like bump during downstroke Cherry switch, especially when you compare it to the roundness of force curves resulted in rubber-dome structures.
This question was asked countless times on all the mechanical keyboard forums.
My best advice is to try them out, preferrably side by side, e.g. in a meet up. Trying out a Topre 55g board in a shop is probably not so possible except when you are in Tokyo.
p.s. for my personal preference, Topre 45g is enough for me, and for MX tactile I like the more round bump of MX clears / Ergoclears (and same for Zealios, the Ergoclear clones Gateron helps create).
