Can't go wrong with a Jinhao but keep in mind, the nib widths seem to be fixed by the pen model and trim color. I.e. an x450 is going to have a #6 medium nib and you can't opt for a different size nib from the factory. The demonstrator in this thread has a much smaller nib in fine. I would suggest an x750 or an x450 with a #6 that you can swap out with an aftermarket nib from Goulet pens or the like. Those are going to be a nice medium thick line and they're nice looking, well made pens out of the box.
