I'm not sure these few examples of issues here really indicate any larger of a quality control problem within Leonardo compared to any other small manufacturer. Personally, we have a total of 4 Leonardos in the house and none have had any problems. I believe that in general, they are very good, quality pens, but of course, exceptions exist and you could get unlucky. I just think your odds of getting unlucky with a Leonardo are no different than with any other similar manufacturer.
Good luck either way. I really enjoy my Leonardos. My Momento Zero Grande Art Deco has got to be one my of favorite pens.
