I think your discussion is very fair, AzJon.
At the end of the day, provided they are not misled by counterfeits, people know what they are buying. If people want a Jinhao 599, as I did, they won't mistakenly buy a Safari or vice-versa. If Chinese copying of Western products annoys people that's all to the good. They can write about it here and it may help to outweigh all those sales posts.
