I have had both, as well as the larger Diplomat, and only the Souveran remains. A vintage Montblanc maybe, but of the modern offerings, for me, Pelikan wins hands down. I found the nib much smoother and inkflow was consistent. Skipping, especially after a brief hiatus, was a problem with my MB's, with any ink, even after I had them tweaked. There was also annoying moisture in the cap. The piston of the Pelikan is also a work of art. Lastly, the easily removable/interchangeable nibs of the pelikan is so convenient not only for cleaning, but also if you just want to try a custom ground nib.
