Yes, posting the cap improves the length of the pen for my hand. I have a Pilot Prera that's even smaller than the P200, and I have to post the cap on it. If I don't, the end of the pen doesn't clear my hand, making it definitely too short for me.
I damaged the barrel of my most expensive pen (a Cartier) from posting the cap over many years. Luckily it wasn't expensive to replace (other problems were), but I've been trying to get out of the posting habit to avoid damaging any other pens. However, if Pelikans are designed to be posted, maybe I should post them after all. Thanks for the info.
