nah mate, Pilot vs Lamy carts are chalk & cheese!
haha I collect Lamy & Pilot more than any other fancy expensive pens
The PilotParallel inks aren't necessarily super saturated, but they do feel thicker more gel like. When I refill with FP ink the Parallels aren't as gliding smooth.
You can refill the carts with syringe (yank out the sealing disc with tweezers, make them easier to refill) or I've used converters in Parallel too, think any Pilot convertor should be ok. Don't they come with the rubber bulb squeezy convertor? Supposedly meant for "cleaning" but it holds ink just fine.
I usually pull off the convertor and suck ink from bottle; mainly because I'm too lazy to go washing the Parallel in between inks
