Whether Piston Fill, Sacs or others I like them all. I have Vintage pens from the 1930's and 1940's and such and back then they did not have Converters. I also have the cheap Cartridge-Fill FP's which were used back in Grade Schools. But today the Converters are easy to used, less work for me to clean them out to change ink colors/General Maintenance. I have very small hands and I like the smaller sized Fountain Pens. So a pen like the MontBlanc #149 is not comfortable in my hands and for me too big...period. But now if I was gifted one of them I would surely use it with pleasure but first it would go back to MontBlanc to switch out the Nib to a smaller size like Extra-Fine.....
Take care and 'Keep on Truckin'.....Leo
