I've noticed that people on this forum tend to get Montblanc pens. I've owned some, but, having lived with them, would not consider them the best overall. In fact, my Lamy 2000 is much better. Why do people still gravitate towards MB? Status?

It may seem that way, but even though I have quite a few MBs I actually prefer the Japanese Pens (Sailor, Pilot, and others) for moderns and truly treasure the vintage-eyedroppers with flexy nibs that I have for journaling and writing.
