wow, that is pretty amazing service :) i always like when you get to talk (or write, in that case) not only to real people, but also to those guys that run the business, and not some hired Q-and-A cubicle soldier. nothing produces happy customers like treating them with respect, and be more for them than just an anonymous dispenser of things in exchange for money.
i, myself, prefer dip pens for ink drawing, but i do have a soft spot for nice fountain pens, especially beautiful vintage designs like the sheaffer targa or the legendary parker 51. they dont make design of that caliber anymore. i also feel your pain regarding fountain pens capable of thin lines. my handwriting has a really low x-height, so even the EF nib of my chinese fountain pen is pushed to its limits occasionally. that is what kind of keepy me from buying a twsbi fountain pen: they ought to be incredibly well-writing pens, but the nibs are made in germany, and thus, their EF nib probably isnt as fine as an asian EF.
