@LoganIsOutspoken -Easy. m200. But for the price, I'd find something else honestly. The M200 is small and feels cheap to me. I'd get a TWSBI over an M200. Unless you just really like small pens. If I HAD to pick a Pelikan, it would be a vintage 400 or 140. One of those old 14k gold nibs and you'll be set for life. And SPOILED. Nothing short of the nibs on the M1000 come CLOSE to the Pel nibs of old. Myself - I've gotten sucked into custom pens. What's your user name on FPN?
@LoganIsOutspoken --My wife bought me a Sheaffer Viewpoint, fine italic, for Valentine's Day, 2010. I wanted more inks, then different types of nibs, then better papers. Eventually I bought some pens that didn't work and I wanted to learn how to fix them.... so I did. Did you know "broken" pens are cheaper than working pens? Now I do a bit of nib work and tuning/adjusting for people all over the world. Go check out watch_art at fountainpennetwork. That's me. :)
