I too would have jumped if another Fine was available.
However I would also ask - especially on a drop like this, if we could somehow see a writing sample of each nib width. For example I know from experience that a Pelikan Medium nib is out of the question for me. It's just too wide for my writing style. However the Retro 51 Tornado I recently got at Massdrop was a medium that I am pretty happy with.
If this Porsche nib was like the latter I might consider picking it up. It would be nice to know who made the nib too. (90+% of nibs these days are made by Bock, JoWo or Schmidt. Even on very very high end pens).

robert.harrisI think the pens are manufactured by Pelikan.

robert.harrisI second @sberger. Porsche Design pens, as far as I know, are all manufactured by Pelikan. Porsche Design imposes strict requirements on Pelikan as far as design itself is involved, but gives them carte blanche for the technical aspects of their pens. Which is why, despite the different design and appearance, Porsche Design nibs are usually known to behave much like Pelikan ones, with the exception of being less flexible than the ones used on Pelikan fountain pens.
