I have lots of Western stubs and cursive italics, always on either broad or medium nibs. I like the line variation that they provide. I notice more line variation on the B nibs than the M nibs. I have been writing with a lot of Asian F and M nibs recently. I am toying with the idea of having a Sailor or Pilot F nib stubbed or ground to a cursive italic. But then, I wonder, will there still be discernable line variation with an Asian fine nib? I realize that I have never met anyone at a pen function with a stub/CI, or if I did, I was not paying much attention. Has anyone done this? Is this common and I am just blissfully unaware? Do you get nice line variation with such a nib combination?

TIA!
