As I’ve said before, I have one (a gift)—it’s no big deal, just a pen. And if anyone tries to tell you this or that ballpoint or rollerball "writes nice", remember the only thing that touches the paper is the refill—everything else is hype and ego.
RayFNot sure about that - I write with nice pens (from $1 to $600) and I purchased them for my very own personal pleasure of owning and writing with them. Give a flying fart what others think. Luxury items can also be bought for pure personal enjoyment. And by definition luxury is hardly ever "worth it"...
Am challenging your refill story a bit, it is very important but the balance, weight and comfort of a pen is also important. You wouldn't say to a car: the only thing that touches the road is the tires. :-)
