Are Aurora nibs known to be scratchy???

[PizzaDude]

When I was visiting NYC a couple weeks ago I went to visit Fountain Pen Hospital with the intention of buying a Lamy Safari or a Noodlers Ahab and maybe a notebook or some paper. However, that was short lived once I saw all the wonderful pens there. I saw the Aurora Ipsilon in Satin Orange (F) and had to have it. I tried it out in the store and bought it immediately. When I got home I inked it up with Diamine Onyx Black and started writing on some scrap paper. I have to admit that it seemed less smooth than my Kaweco Sport (F) that cost a quarter of what the Ipsilon did. Switching over to Rhodia paper seemed to help as did lessening the amount pressure I used. Has anyone else had these issues?

Note: this is not an insult to the proprietors of Fountain Pen Hospital in any way, they were very helpful and when I left my free little aurora notebook in the shop they mailed it to me.
