MingI just got the Beta QR flashlight in EN-coated aluminum and I love the finish--it looks and feels great. I know everyone has a Ti fetish, but given a choice, i'd take the EN-Al for a pen.
andyFact is that they were sold at $100-130 and there was a profit to be had. I bought one then and IMO it was worth the price.
There's no way I'd pay twice as much at $215-$240.
andySeems like a really cool idea but the price isn't right. A gently used Mont Blanc roller ball can be had for ~$150. Hopefully he finds a way to make the pen cheaper by mass producing it. If the price was under $100 I think it would be a huge hit.
I would prefer Ti pens from Mike Bond, which are awesome: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikebond/ti2-pen https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikebond/ti2-techliner-pen
