    I think I have decided on the Visconti. The M1000 was close, but my M149 fills the role of large German luxury pen with piston filler. I love the look of the HS and it's different from my other offerings. I haven't ordered yet, but probably will in the next week or so.

    One thing to consider about the M1000-- Given the pens that you already like, it may not be a comfortable writer for you. I really like the size and feel of the MB 149, but the M1000 was not for me. It was not comfortable either posted or unposted. (The nib was great.) I would hesitate about buying a pen that large without trying it first unless you get it for a price that you know you can recoup if you turn around and sell it.

    Great choice! I have one, and it is one of the few that I will never sell or trade.

    I agree... and I too look at my HS Bronze and know it is a pen I will never sell. It is so unique and such a great writer as well as being indestructible.

    I just love everything about that pen.

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you get it.

    Just received my HS bronze today and couldn't be happier. I got the fine nibbed one. It's a fantastic writer and a beautiful pen. I'm really really happy with it!!
