Anyone own a Visconti Homo Sapiens?

So currently I have the Montblanc Boheme Noir with the retracting nib. That was a great start for me in this new collecting hobby. I now want a pen that has access to more inks and I recently fell in love with this model. Does anybody have the regular version? I'm getting the red wine model which there are only 30/30 made so a little more special. Is it worth the premium?.. I think it looks cool. I am also getting it with the F nib.

All the best,
Glenn

The red wine version looks awesome in pics! I want to say it's several hundred more than the volcanic rock version though. Can't comment on if it's worth the extra cost, but if you can't live without it, get one!

My main reservation (beyond really disliking the clips) has to do with the stability of the company. There seems to be far to many QC issues with the brand even compared to other Italian marques and the founder recently announced he was leaving because there were irreparable issues between the other partner and himself.
