Very cool! I had wonderd how the new mini stacked up next to a Kaweco. Thanks for posting this, I'm being swayed even more towards getting a Mini.

I am not terribly interested in mini pens, but I think they're cool, nonetheless. Nice collection!

how does the bon Voyage compare to the mini?

The Bon Voyage is a fine pen, though I rate the Jitterbug a tad higher because the nib is prepared by Richard Binder and you can really feel it. But they both are eyedroppers and that has certain drawbacks. The most annoying of which is not knowing you are low on ink until the pen starts spitting, usually right in the middle of a long letter. The Mini, being a piston fill is way ahead. And while it is still a mini it is slightly larger than the others which doesn't hurt. The screw on cap on the mini is also better.
