I'm curious to see what everyone thinks the best pens at various price points are. I've only had experience with pens to a certain level, but wanted to see where my next steps may fall. Just for fun, tell us what the best pens are at the following price points:
$20 or less
$50 or less
$75 or less
$100 or less
$150 or less
$200 or less
Any price
If I need a couple of extra price levels to break up the high end stuff, feel free to make the categories. I don't really have much to add, but am looking forward to the answers from those with a much broader experience than I have.
Here's mine based on my limited experience:
$20: Pilot Metropolitan. Jinhao with a knox nib is in there, too.
$50: Nussbaum John Ross. I love this pen.
$75: I don't have any in this category yet.
$100: Pelikan M200. In my top 2.
I can't go beyond this. I haven't been able to try anything above this.
