    I already have two and three quarters of the three pens that I'm looking for, and want to spend some decent time with them before considering trying anything else. All I expect to get for the rest of this year, is a couple of spare 388s, maybe a couple of inks (although I already have enough to easily get me through 2018), and then possibly explore a couple of paper options.
    Wise approach, and I often wish it was the one I'd taken, rather than buying EVERYTHING. But on the other hand, it's been a fun, wild ride, and I made lots of people happy with my mistakes.
    Thank you

    I have spent obscene amounts of money on other interests in the past, and ultimately the extra expense didn't equate to extra happiness. If a sub-£10 pen writes well, I don't see the benefit of spending £100. I know other people may value pens differently, but I fail to see anything beyond "writing implement".
