I would have to agree with this. Although I do not have as much experience with fountain pens as you gentlemen, my only pen is an entry level Pelikan M150. Just today I was looking to upgrade and purchase something a little nicer, but couldn't get past the cartridge filling system on some of the higher quality offerings. I would like to try a MB, but I'm afraid to invest several hundred dollars on a fountain pen I do not like. Any suggestions? Should I suck it up and give it a shot or stick with what I know?
