I've been eyeing a TWSBI 580 in silver for myself in the near future, but then I noticed the Shaeffer 100. The TWSBI is a piston filler pen, and the Shaeffer is a cartridge/converter pen. What's your opinion on these two pens? Any pros or cons you care to comment on?
What's Your Opinion of the Shaeffer 100?

I believe the sheaffer is also a nice looking pen, they both would be good pens, I'd go ahead and get the one you like the looks of the most. i never mind much his a pen gets ink into it much, but if ink capacity is a big thing for you, i would imagine you would like the twsbi more
I have both, but prefer the TWSBI 580.
I have the 100 in silver, silver/blue, and the Ferrari editions. I have the TWSBI in clear and rose gold.
I prefer how the TWSBI writes as well as the feel in hand.
The Schaeffer has a very slick grip section, but it's not bad. As for construction the 100 wins being all metal.
The 580 hold a lot more ink and is a great looking pen. Plus you can buy other nib sections and switch very easily. Including the stub nibs which are great.
Up to you I guess. They both have ups and downs.
