I have a couple Pelikan 200s and a 215. They have the standard steel nibs (some with gold plating that IIRC is cosmetic rather than affecting performance.) They seem to write pretty well, but I only have a Preppy to compare so far, so who knows.
I see that one can buy Pelikan nibs seperately, and some of the more expensive gold nibs for the Souverain models can fit the 200/215 as well. When I get done with shipping and customs &c, I'm probably looking at $100 per nib.
Is this a worthwhile upgrade from a pen performance standpoint? That would be the only reason I'd bother (rather than aethetics or getting goosebumps "because it's gold" ) Would I actually notice a difference?
