[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2679448, member: 76194"]Same here in regards to the writing qualities. Also, I've had a few Montblanc pens before. They are not bad at all, a little too overpriced in my opinion though, but definitely nice pens. I would still have Montblancs if it wasn't for the fact that their nibs are a little too stubby for my liking, which is why these days I'm mostly using Japanese fountain pens. A Fine Japanese nib writes like a western XF, and an XF Japanese nib is like nothing you'll ever see from a western fountain pen. What few Western fountain pens I do still have, a Pelikan M200, a Pelikan M800, a Conid Bulkfiller, the Lamy 2000, and a Conklin Word Gauge Limited Edition, I've had their nibs ground to a finer finish by a nib expert. Also, I don't do cartridges and have a large supply of bottled inks, so all my pens are either piston fillers or vacuum fillers, which leaves out a lot of nice pens out there as they don't meet this requirement for me.[/QUOTE]
