MB Starwalker Extreme Ballpoint. B vs M vs F

I think I have decided on the Starwalker Ballpoint Extreme, now which Ballpoint?

Fine
Broad
Medium


Any writing examples?

Visiting a boutique is not an option as none are local.

I don't have a writing sample with the medium, but here is the fine. I have terrible writing. I really thought the medium was too thick for my tastes, but that is subjective. I had the luxury of trying it out at a local MB boutique, but even if I didn't, they are only about $10.

All personal preference. Probably not broad. I like fine, but most are used to medium. As Crystal said, refills are cheap. Get it in medium and play with size and color.

I can get you a writing sample of my starwalker midnight ball point with a medium cartridge hopefully tomorrow. Pretty sure they take the same refill?

Get all three! The refills are expensive, but if you are going to own a MB pen then your bank account should tolerate it!
