The Aurora Afrika I have, has probably the best nib I've used so far, writes immediately wherever it touches, even though it has a dry-leaning flow it still puts down ink without skipping and has a feedback similar to a hard pencil without scratch or adverse feeling. Firmer but pleasant to use. The body itself (which I assume is nearly identical to the Aurora Optima outside of the trim) is comfortable, about the same height and thickness as my Pelikan M640, but has a nib with the physical size of an M800's nib, the grip area is larger than both the Pelikan M640 and M805, but is probably half the weight, and has a very nicely visible ink window.
The nibs also happen to be easily unscrewed and interchangeable much like Pelikan, and the Piston seems to hold a decent amount.
