Alright, so let me explain my situation here:

I've had a Steelseries Sensei for a while now (1,5 year) and it's doing great. It feels okay, it's big, and it looks pretty slick. But it has positive acceleration (a couple %) and I play Starcraft II at a decent level. I really want to try something else. It's not unplayable (because I can't compare right now), but I'd like to take a look at other mice. A family member of mine is visiting some emigrated familymembers of mine, and she can take the stuff with me from Amazon. I live in Europe so prices are going to be VERY much lower than they would be in EU, reason I'm okay with a more pricy or maybe even two less pricy mice. I use a mix of claw/fingertip grip when gaming, mostly claw.
I also have fairly big hands I think (~17CM from end of palm to end of middlefinger)
Mice I've looked at:

Name: Razer Deathadder 2013
Pros:Looks great, feels great (apparently), the closest you'll get to a perfect sensor, fits with my setup (Green/Black)
Cons:Not very cheap, Might not be as good as other mice for claw/fingertip grips and the build quality is questioned, Razer is notorious for bad build quality.

Name: Razer Abyssus
Pros:Would fit my grip style, cheap, looks fairly good
Cons:Small, sensor might not be great, build quality is to be questioned.

Name: SteelSeries Rival
Pros:Big, seems sturdy, good sensor
ConsNot very cheap, same size and look as Sensei (I want to try something different), might be a palm-grip mouse.

Name: CM Storm: Spawn
ProsVery cheap, looks good for claw/fingertip (especially fingertip)
Cons:Doesn't look very good, fixated DPI jumps, might be too small.

Name: Logitech G400s
ProsLooks good, is big, cheap, good sensor, good drivers
ConsCould be purely a palm grip mouse, build quality can be questioned (apparently)

Any other suggestions, or comments about the mice I listed? Personal experiences with any of them? I was going to go with a DA until I heard of so many of them break, as well as it's one of the more expensive mouse of them all.

I could for example get a Logitech G400s ($43) and an Abyssus/Spawn($30) and I'd only spend €53,-

Thanks in advance!

I would say go for the Deathadder 2013. Even though Razer is mostly known for poor quality, their mice are superb. I do admit that their keyboards are expensive and the older models were low quality (though I believe their 2013 and 2014 BWUs were decent), but their mouse receives mostly praise. The Deathadder 2013 is a good mouse for claw grip. The only thing that I can see as a con is the price, but even so it's not much more expensive over the 400s.

I'd say avoid Razer, their like alienware, everybody knows them and their poor quality. I like the G400s, it's a good mouse. It's rated for 20 million clicks, up to 4k dpi, and 8 programmable buttons.

I sweat kind of easily, but my mouse (Sensei) is okay. The thumb on the DA makes me sweat very quickly. Might just be because I use it for the first time however.

Also, is the right mouse button less responsive/clicky than the left mouse button, or is that just this guys' mouse defect? Because for playing SC2 that is quite annoying.
