    All depends what seems reasonable to you. I really enjoy my cheap pens, in particular the ones I managed to adjust to fit my writing style. For instance, I have a Reform 1745 in front of me with a very smooth nib that is also springy - it's light, slender and I've been carrying it around for months (after forgetting I had it for years). It's about as thick as a wooden pencil, which I like, as I also use quite a lot of wooden pencils. I've moved away from brass pens (although my Chinese pens do make excellent paperweights).

    I actually have this pen by a different name (and finish) with an incredible nib, so flexible. I will agree it's a corker if you don't mind holding your pens higher.

    In truth I would set the bar of reasonable at £100 max, but really around£50

    I love Parker 45's. I started my collection off with one from ebay 10 years ago, and still have quite a few. They are so reliable, easy to completely dismantle, swap nibs out etc etc.

    Indeed, simply typing too fast.

    Ok, as you will (on the rest). I was also not equating light weight with expensive pens, either, so I'm not pushing you in the money direction, but a lightening of the load. I don't find many things that utilize greater weight with speed and agility, but our hands are all different. I hope you'll keep an open mind down the road, especially with only a few months to go by. No matter what, enjoy the experience!
    That's true. I've always thought the heavier the pen the better.
    I just bought a Sailor imperial black. It's light weight and I really do like the feel
