I have store credit at a pen store from a return and I have narrowed my selection to two pens. First is a Pelikan M405 and the other is an Aurora Optima. The Optima is about $100 more. Both are available with broad nib. The plan with either is to have a nibmeister regrind the nib to a stub. I know the M805 might be the closer comparison to the Optima but the M405 is what I have to choose from. Perhaps the biggest question is whether the Aurora Optima is worth the extra $100.
