Frosty has valid points. Some people do get additional Fountain pens for a different nib
type.

I simply cannot see myself parting with so much money for a fountain pen. If I am going
to spend that kind of money, out of 1000 times, I would choose a fountain pen 999 of
those times, and maybe once, a fine-liner.

The writing experience of a fountain pen just cannot be matched, or even come close
by a fine-liner or a ball point.

What you're really paying the several hundred extra dollars for is the casing/shell.
The ball point part of it makes nearly no difference to a 10c BIC ball point pen.
