Simply personal taste but I do have about a dozen or so OMAS pens as well. I do like the designs and materials of the Montegrappa more than my OMAS but interestingly I have lots of celluloid Montegrappas but the vegetal resin OMAS pens.
Aurora pens just plain work, period.
Ferrari da Varese are simply outstanding examples of craftsmanship.
Signum are odd and quirky, kinda like Italian cars.
I see. The older Montegrappas are very pretty. Because I'm a student (and I now live in NZ), I don't have the greatest of choices, especially when it comes to trying out pens and seeing what I like. Are the nibs smooth on the older Montegrappas? How is the weight?
I have found the nibs on my Montegrappas to be very smooth. Weights of course vary considerably. Here are some boring facts for you to use come sleepless nights.
