These FA nibs are just fantastic, a joy to use.
How do you find the #10 vs the #15? Do you prefer one over the other? I heard somewhere the #10 is more flexible but has more flow issues. I have the #15 and have never had a flow issue, neither in the 823 nor the 743 with con50/40.
I have to say, while I like the FA nib a lot, I use pens for many different purposes and the FA nib is not always the right nib for the job. I mostly like it for drawing. But I also think that going down to one pen, one ink, pros and cons accepted, removes the paralysis of choice and let's you focus on what you want to write rather than what pen to write with. So congrats. I don't think you're banished, but you may feel you've graduated.
