I ended up with some Parker ball point pens that I didn't have any refills for.
Did the usual interweb research for a few minutes and noticed somewhat of a trend in that the easyFLOW 9000 seemed to consistently get favorable comments.
Found what seemed like a great deal for six of them for $7 shipped on Amazon and they arrived this past weekend.
The refills:

I popped one into a Parker Classic and another one into a Parker Flighter Jotter from the 90's and tried them out for a bit.

Mini-review conclusion:
REALLY like them. One of the downsides that I've felt with BP pens is that the refills feels a bit dry and scritchy and, well, a bit boring to actually write with - but these Schmidt ones made these Parker BP pens feel as if I was writing with a roller ball pen! Super smooth and the ink flowed beautifully.
Not sure what kind of magic Schmidt worked into these pens but for seven bucks for six of them I'll be back for more.
