It's great to know that I've so much more to learn.
I'm fascinated to learner that nibs can be modified and will look at having a tinker on that direction at some point. In the meantime I'll have a good think about what you have all suggested and let you know what I've decided. I might even be brave enough to post the results!!
Again, thanks for the help.
