    I've had a few different pens in the Optima family, and have loved every one. Never had an issue. Currently have a Sole with a factory broad stub (italic?) nib that is flat out wonderful.
    Best Regards, greg

    I've a green marbled one. Looks and feels great to hold.
    The nib has a little feedback or it could be slightly scratchy.....a bit ordinary to write with. I need to try more inks in it.

    I have the Optima 365 in "F" and the Mar Adriatico in "M". Love and use both extensively. They both have just the right amount of feedback IMO. Also they are a great size for medium sized hands. Good luck on your purchase.

    I have just bought my first Aurora Optima mainly because I have seen some lovely ones on Laura's blog

    In fact i haven't received it yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing it. This is the one that the postman will bring me.

    Just getting rid of pens that I dont use very much, I have the chance to get an Aurora with no risk because I can make the money back.

    Gotcha. I was just busting since you said you had a chance to thin the herd and the jumped right to a new pen options, with absolutely nothing between. Like celebrating weight loss with a cheeseburger and milkshake. That struck me as kind of funny besides being sort of nonsequitor-esque.
