...but I find myself only using one - my CF nib Pilot Metropolitan.

It's the only stub nib I've found which is fine enough for my handwriting size - yep it burps on occasion when I fill it, but I only want to use this pen.

Anyone else have far more expensive pens sitting around doing nothing while they use a cheap/mid range pen?

My collection has grown, but I still like to use my inexpensive pens. My Pilot Metropolitan (fine) is among my favorites, although I find it dries out fairly quickly.

All my early pens are snap caps. I've come to understand screw caps seal better. I guess I better get writing so that ink doesn't dry up!
