    Brooks' acrylics and alumilite mixes are undoubtedly some of the best out there (hoping to find something on the secondary market myself). As for the Leonardo Grande... well, in my view it suffers from the same design issue that the more expensive Pelikan pens have - a metal band at the ink end of the section. It's an area of corrosion waiting to happen. (I've heard it happens, not how often, but it deters me from getting interested in buying). I think the non-Grande design is better in this respect.

    Anyway, as a visual piece of art, your pen certainly looks like the bee's knees.
