    Default Is there any love for the Lamy Dialog or is the Pilot (VP) Capless so much better?

    After receiving an email saying that the Lamy Dialog is currently offered on Massdrop, and it was the most requested drop, I've been considering the pros and cons between the Lamy Dialog and the Pilot (VP) Capless.

    I'm assuming they both have a clip that needs to line up with the nib so that it doesn't interfere with your thumb or forefinger as you write.

    I've held both at different times and seem to remember the Dialog is a thicker pen. I'll put that on my pros side as I don't like thin pens. However, the Pilot also doesn't qualify as thin for me.

    Presumably both accept proprietary cartridges plus converters, and care needs to be taken when filling so that ink doesn't go inside the end of the cap.

    The Dialog doesn't come in as many different colours or finishes as the Pilot.

    The Dialog usually costs more.

    Anything else that should be considered?
