Broader than that and it may be hard to use as a daily note taker. Regarding the nib's lifetime, these pens hold up very well over decades of use as long as you don't physically damage the nib. If you do, sometimes they can be repaired by either MB or an independent nib repair person.

Thank you for the advice. I picked up a platinum 149 F today which I’ll use for work/notes, as well as a new 149 curved nib…I wasn’t able to try the curved one but she said it writes like a EF, M, B, and BB all in one, based on the angle in which you hold it.
