I can only hope you stopped looking.
I'm with you. I spent the last week in Germany and I stopped by at three really good pen shops (no MB boutiques). They all had the Hitchcock on display. Makes it really difficult not to get envious of those of us who have one.
Agreed. I love my 70s 121 and I did the same with the Hitchcock ink. Best red ink ever.

If I mention a supplier, I am ONLY affiliated if I EXPLICITLY say so.
Of course. I've never been to a pen show, I expect I'd find something there. But since I have no money at the moment anyway, I just resort to hoping that someone will take leave of their senses just long enough to give me one. Or both.
"Continue to buy"... I think these are pens I would only ever get one of. And use forever, then pass on.

Both 146 and 149 are nice pens indeed, but I wouldn't say they rule my collection, merely complement it. SBRE Brown's YouTube review on the 149 vs the Jinhao 159 was interesting enough to persuade me to get a couple off ebay today. I look forward to comparing them.
