Thanks! I tend toward medium nibs, but if the finer nibs have good feedback, the medium ones probably do too.
They have that nice pencil-like sound. The EF writes like a Japanese fine, the fine (which is a smoother, less noisy nib) like a Japanese medium. Platinum 3776 pens have a soft, toothy whisper too, the medium is my favorite of all my pens, and though a gold nib, they can easily be found in the $100 range.
I must add, that except for Tomoe River, I don’t use smooth papers, like Rhodia. I generally choose paper with a little bit of tooth to it.
