Cartier's Composite Durability

[pencrazed]

Hi everyone! I am wondering how durable Cartier's "Composite" material is before I purchase a Cartier pen in that finish (A Cartier Pasha, to be precise). I have used Montblanc's "Precious Resin" before and I am aware that although it has a great shiny, deep-black sheen to it, it is very brittle. Is Cartier's "Composite" material more durable than the "Precious Resin"? Is it as durable as, for example, Lamy's ABS plastic?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Although I can't speak from experience, given the fact that many Cartier pens are made by Montblanc, I won't expect great differences in the quality of their materials.
